[sci.electronics] Somebody like Active for National?

I think Active Electronics is great.  You can go in there and buy
quantity one of reasonably up-to-date chips, current date code,
for reasonable prices, over the counter.  I've never seen anyone
else offering Rockwell 8070 T-1 chips off the rack!  Since Active
is a branch of Future Electronics, a "real" parts distributor,
they can get just about any chips that their manufacturers sell.

BUT:

They aren't distributors for all manufacturers.  In particular,
they don't sell National chips.  I want to be able to get
small quantities of DS8390, LM1881, ??16550 (I think that's National),
and other goodies.

Where can I get those?   Advice, anyone?

Thanks,
