That's a very good question. I usually just spell it out, since it is an acronym.

For Telnet, there's PT100, three different versions available on UNNA:

There is a holster that fits the 2x00 perfectly. It's made by a company
called Ripoffs, model CO-58:

NB: Ripoffs doesn't sell directly to consumers, you'll have to buy through one
of their distributors. I bought mine a while ago from Red Diamond Uniform Supply:

You can find other distributors by Googling around. Price should be around
$35-$55 USD.
