That's a bit ambiguous, insofar as whilst the second socket exists, it is
not (or shouldn't be) actually connected to anything.

Very interesting.  None of my Austel USR's secondary ports worked.

Can you actually dial out from a phone which is connected to your Courier's
secondary RJ-11 socket though?  Just like Jill's Sportster, that function
should have been disabled on the Austel version, unless the regs have
changed dramatically just recently...
