SL>> Having to send the modem to Victoria is a bit of a pain. I wish USR

 SL>> might as well wait for the ITU standard to arrive before I upgrade.



 RB>> seems that they will have people in a Sydney office but head office

 RB>> is  in Mel's bum.



 PL> Looking at the USR's FAQ on x2, I don't see the benefit of that 

 PL> technology for

 PL> most people, and certainly not for 99% of Sysops; you would appear to 

 PL> need a

 PL> fully digital line for the server, hence ISDN minimum, which ISP are more

 PL> likely to have (but that is not a given, having seen some setups).



T'is definitely an interim Money spinner.



I only have it cause it was free.

I too would prefer ISDN.

But I too am BROKE.
