 FF>>> I've just returned from the Dynalink web page. They are
 FF>>> quoting a RRP of only $239 !!

 TP>> That's must be ex tax, or they expect their dealers to
 TP>> survive on a bowl of rice a day. Around $265 would be closer to
 TP>> real price.

RB>> Just checked again. "Australian Recommended
Retail price only
RB>> $239!"

Even a lot lower if you look around (check Randall's prices)

 FF> Also, just rang their Melbourne distributor, and they quoted
 FF> me $239, (They actually quoted $209, as they are having a sale
 FF> until the end of today).

 FF> Interestingly, Dynalink sales staff denied it was a rebadged
 FF> Sportster, claiming it was their own "stand alone" product. He also
 FF> said it was NOT flash upgradable, (meaning their web site is
 FF> lying), and it supported Rockwell's Class 2 fax, NOT Class 2.0 !!
 FF> Anyone checked this out ??

Yes I have.  It supports Class 1 and 2.0

 FF> And their dealer said, like every other Dynalink, it doesn't
 FF> recognize Aust dial and busy tones, but it IS a rebadged Sportster.

RB>They do recognize the dial tones and busy tones on the exchanges I
RB>have tried them on. But it is a bit flakey. ( not perfect EVERY time.

They do recognize dial tones most of the time but busy tones are a real
problem.  I had to disable it on mine to get Winfax Pro to work reliably.

Cheers
