Quite possibly, although numerous people have announced in Aust_Modem that
they have recently bought approved DS Couriers for prices ranging between
$650 and $715, mainly in Victoria (where the distributors are located).

I also have a strong suspicion that since Adrian Asfar left Data Direct and
started up his own modem company (On-line Communications), he is parallel
importing USR modems, which would account for the now-competitive pricing.
