I'm sure that USR included an addendum for Australian models which clearly
states that the second port is disabled (although several owners have since
indicated that this is not the case at all).

I can categorically assure you that Austel Sportsters have had the second
port intentionally disabled, which is one of the reasons I always bought
US/Canada models.  According to Arthur, this is NOT an Austel regulation at
all, so why USR chose to do this is completely beyond me.
