Hi Poe,

[Thus spake Poe Lim unto Sunny Leung:]

 SL> See my message to Steven Anderson. Looks like there are indeed
 SL> several new features. BTW, we don't have caller ID in Australia, do
 SL> we?  

 PL> Nope, and you'll need hardware upgrade to get it with the new SDL
 PL> anyway.

The Readme that comes with the SDL says that daughterboard-using
Couriers don't get caller-ID unless there is a hardware modification.
The question I have is, do Aussie Couriers use daughterboards?

comp.dcom.modems is full of messages from people saying that the way to
find out is to check the serial number, to listen for clicks when
dialing with speaker off etc.

I'm not competent enough to open the case and find out :-)

 SL> Latest SDL code seems to have been taken off the USR BBS as well.
 SL> People have written that to get the latest USR code you have to
 SL> give them a call on their 1-800 number. You probably have to pay
 SL> for the disk and shipping too :-(

 PL> Usually not; they may just implement a password scheme. But it seems
 PL> to get on distributed anyway. 

Yep, quite a few people in Australia have the 1/96 code by now, although
useless on their Austel Couriers :-)
