Hi Greg,

 GW> I'm enquiring if any one out there has ANY information on the AUSLINX
 GW> Tasmanian Devil 36.600k Fax modem, which Dick Smith is selling (in
 GW> QLD) for $199 at the moment.  Is it reliable? Does it connect at 36600?
 GW> Is it worth the money ?  Is it Australian made... and by who?  What
 GW> sort of warranty? ETC ETC

I connect with a Tasmanian Devil at 28.8 because that's all my modem allows,
it seems to work pretty well. It's not as fast as mine on 28.8 though.
It's Australian made. I think it has a Rockwell chipset.
 
 GW> Also would like to hear from anybody with modem suggestions (to
 GW> purchase) that are good value for money and work well (reliable).
 GW> looking for 36.6k or better.

Get a USR Sportster or USR Courier, they're pretty good. Read some reviews,
the Courier doesn't seem to go as well with my Roadster as my Roadster does
with everything else.

 GW> Is there a modem release coming soon for a 52.00k ? Heard rumours
 GW> awhile ago that they are near (before xmas 96). Any Info ?????

Yeah, it's 56.6K and it's coming soon. US Robotics offer a flash upgrade for
their current modems.
