Sorry, I don't get newspapers....Specially ones from south of the

I am very interested in what they have to say on the subject though.

I don't suppose you could type some of the article in and leave it

in AUST_TELECOM or even in here (tho I think Ian would also class

this as off topic in this echo). You could fax me the article, some

time (Daylight Hours) on 07 327 22774.

In my situation, I think that Caller ID is a GODSEND. (As long as it

is used for the proper reasons.



The point that I was making above, though, was that Modems that are

not designed specifically for Australia will support the US CID

system and will not be able to use the system proposed for

Australia.
