Bill, can you quote any such regulation, or provide any reference to it?

My Austel-approved DPX595 (and a Netcomm E5 and M5, both approved
obviously, that recently passed through here) have functioning mode-3
adapters, handling a connected phoneset as intended.  I often lift the
handset if I need the modem to be off-hook for some reason, and (very
rarely) make calls from it.

See my message to Arthur regarding manufacturers often wide-of-the-mark
_interpretations_ of what they and/or different testing houses _think_ the
Austel regulations might be :)  We've sure heard some doozies ..
