Why don't you consider becoming an authorized dealer for one or two manufacturers? In an effort to stem gray market manufacturers like Avaya have made it easier to become dealers. You were a Lucent tech, should be a no-brainer.

It should be something you are aiming for. I know I started out that way but it always bothered me that I was illegitimate, selling product that I wondered where it came from. I also didn't have access to the full product line. Sometimes I wanted to sell the customer something I couldn't get.
