I knew I shouldn't have opened my mouth :-(

And how are you going to know who is calling until it has answered?  Telstra
hasn't enabled Caller ID yet :-(.  Also, I believe there is a maximum 
setting for S0 is 5...

In the case of the Courier, you can have it set to S0=2 and the modem will
still answer after only 1 ring since it detects the Australian ring as two
rings...  Hmm - I wonder which ring pattern our "normal" ring will be 
detected as when we finally get distinctive ring in an Aussie SDL?

Mark Griffiths.

... Sure when...  OINK FLAP.  OINK FLAP.  Well, I'll be damned...
