Sorry, I do not know of a Mathematica notebook that relates to the 
Borel-Tanner distribution - but I can't help wonder, assuming you are 
working with something such as 'fast decay' or queuing - would the 
logarithmic distribution developed by Fisher, Corbet, and William work?  Or 
would the Geometric Distribution suffice?

I'm curious as to what Borel offers that the others don't - thanks in 
advance,
