 BG>    Please note: The modems listed above do not currently have Austel

No. It's stating a FACT, Bill, something that you wouldn't have come across before.

 BG> That's exactly how I read it.

You read it totally wrong then.

 BG>> Are you suggesting that the US FCC performs much the same function
 BG>> as Austel?

 GB>> I'm not comparing the two. If you think I am, you're sadly
 GB>> mistaken.

 BG> I'd suggest that this is exactly what you're attempting to do, as it

Your suggestion is again, wrong.

 BG> Otherwise, why mention the FCC at all.  The implication is there Grant,
 BG> even if you claim otherwise.

I mention the FCC because *they are more powerful* than Austel.

 BG>> As a purported dealer, your lack of regulatory body and product
 BG>> knowledge is astounding.

 GB>> So is yours, but nobody complains :-)

 BG> That's complete and utter rubbish.

Is it? I doubt it.

 BG> You have totally ignored my other message which pointed out in no

 BG> in which Austel has absolutely no jurisdiction whatsoever.

You were talking about crap like televisions and radios.. The procedure is
totally different for modems, and if you didn't know *that*, you're further
behind than I first thought.
