May keep the brand name due to brand exposure. I gather from a USR Aust rep
that the Austel x2 code should be ready to go by the end of the month; he
agreed that for Sysops their program would be a problem. I wonder if we
should all call them and complain; after all, the US just gets a code.

FWIW, for Microcom Deskporte Fast owners out there, the 33.6k code is
suppose to be out by the end of the month. Heard that before though...

Cheers,
Poe
