Hi Laura,

This is what I found.


4000 Networking VARs
http://www.listwerks.com/

Listwerks 

Networking VARs

"The 4000+ names on this list consist of leading resellers
specializing in the sale, installation and support of networked
computer systems. From small business to full enterprise solutions,
these VARs move large volumes of bridge, routers hubs, modems and
other network products. With records containing mailing, phone and fax
information this is one the the most powerful lists available to
promote network related products."

Would this figure serve your purpose?


Thanks,

CMP's Channel Information Services estimates there are as many as
96,000 VARs in North America.

Does this help?

An older article at VArBusiness mentions that networking VARs had a share of 13%.

"Over the period, the share of networking VARs crept up three points
to 13 percent"
http://www.varbusiness.com/sections/research/research.jhtml?articleId=18833070

Perhaps you could use this percentage (13%) with the previous figure
(96,000 VARs in North America) to obtain a rough estimate for the
number of networking VARs.

Using the above data, there could be about 12,480 networking VARs.

Does this work?
