subject: who is the USR distributor in Austr

John, at 20:30 on Jul 17 1996, you wrote to Arthur Marsh...

Sure, those which have been privately imported from the US.  Indeed, many
people actually prefer them to the Austel model.  For example, the current
US SDL had added Distinctive Ring, CID, Carrier Loss Redial, and an X-modem
SDL loader (no longer platform dependant), plus a few bug-fixes.  Austel
Couriers will likely not have these features for quite a while yet.

It SHOULD be stuck to the bottom of your modem, but if not, an ATI7 will
tell you if it's an Australian model or not.
