Ok, so when Frank gives me my money, I'm going to be able to
afford a new modem.  I have rung up Banksia and the Melbourne
distributors for USR, and have prices of $420.66 for the 
Banksia, and $596 for the USR, both sysop prices.  Is it
worth going for the USR?  I can think of the following
advantages:

My wife can connect to my modem with the Spirit Thunder at 
19.2k instead of 14.4k.

I don't need to take my modem back to the manufacturer for
a ROM upgrade.

Advantages of the Banksia are:

Local support.

Is there someone else who I should be ringing up, e.g. Netcomm?

BFN.  Paul.
