I may be wide of the mark here but is there something different about the
australian implementation of ISDN that prevents the use of the USR
I-Courier and I-Sportster units?  I understand that these present as a
normal TA for incoming digital traffic and as a Courier modem to traffic
originating from an analogue exchange.  The basic difference is the
I-Sportster allows channel bonding while the I-Courier doesn't.  I think
that Bob Juge is using one of these on his BBS (Juge.com).

These would seem to be the way to fix the current situation where ISDN
systems are isolated from analogue systems and virtually run as a second
network.  A site equipped with one of these could call, and be called from,
BBSs or either persuasion.
