John,

One alternative is Practical Components, Inc. at (714) 899-8309.  There
inventory isn't as extensive as Topline, but they were able to supply me BGA
parts recently that Topline quoted 8 weeks on.

They also have a web address: http://www.practicalcomponents.com

     Address,

     I am about to place an order with Topline on several kits but found
     the lead times to be at 6-8 weeks.  I remember several people
     recommending similar companies with same product lines.  Can someone
     please supply those companies and contacts as well.  Thank you.
