This month's MacUser has a 2 page advertisement from a mail-order house named TeleMart. Their prices are *very* good (FullWrite for $185) - so good that I'm suspicious. Does anyone know if they are on the level? -- Sam Cramer sun!cramer cramer@sun.com

I have just ordered CoachPro3.0 and Canvas1.02 from TeleMart a week ago. Their prices were much lower than MacConnection, They wanted $91 for each (+$6 SH) vs $109 each (+$3SH) from MacConnection and most other "established" mail order houses. I got my order today, eight days after oredring it. It was shipped via FederalExpress yesterday,and my Visa was also charged only yesterday. I guess the only disadvantage is the long turn around time of eight days compared to MacConnection's next day delivery. They also donot guaranty machine compatebility. Disclaimer: I have no connections with any of the above, just a satisfied customer. . . . .

If TeleMart has a Phoenix address, then I can say that they are also known as Silicon Specialties. They have long advertised in the IBM world (3-4 years). I ordered two printers from them and was satisfied with the response (not quite as quick as MacConnection, but still prompt; less than 10 days for UPS ground).
