While sitting on cloud 9, Ian Smith said to Danny Keogh something about 
    Timed data calls

 DK> How can Telstra tell the difference betwean a voice call and a

Do keep in mind "Mr moderator" that I do not often use this
echo.  I only started getting it about 3 weeks ago.  If something
has been explained "several times," I didn't read it.

 DK> Isn't that illegal?

 IS> Please take any legal / political / commercial considerations to
 IS> AUST_LEGAL or AUST_TELECOM or somewhere these things may be on topic. 
 IS> It isn't here; please stick to the technical aspects of modems, and
 IS> leave politics at the door. 

You obviously didn't read the context in which this message was
written.  That last comment related to my question.  As for the
technical stuff, that's why I was asking the question in the
first place.  I didn't even mention politics, you did.
