(snatched from USR_Modems cause I don't think Joe F, needs to know that we

have our own Code'rs in Aust.)



 PL>> It confuses some modems into thinking it's a fax call.

 PC> instead of v34 connect, btw i'm currently running the hacked US code

 PC> i freq'd it off you the other night.



Anything good spreads like wildfire, (and this is GOOD)



It was I, who started referring to this code as "the hacked US code" in a 

public echo.



On second thought ( and to protect our investment in the man that has finally

done what the offical distributor should have done 4 months ago and may do

again in the future for all Australian Courier owners, if not harrassed) we

should not be spouting about where the code is available from or who did it.



Otherwise some beaurocrat will have USR rewrite future SDL's to be un-hackable

and have Austel on the lookout.



I think we should be using it ourselves but keeping it quiet.



I, for one don't want to see Steve writing his SDL from behind Bars. 



I suppose the damage is done, though. I am half expecting Ian (moderator)

to put the mocka's on talking about promoting an "Illegal" file
in his public

echo.
