My apologies, then. Your comment gave me the feeling that you were indeed
speaking from a USR zealocy point of view with no interest in the facts
whatsoever; I was mistaken. I believe that the Dynalink modems were not
available in Australia any earlier than perhaps July this year, yet
Rockwell-based 33600 modems were available from May or slightly later.
