They are the local (Australian) Dynalink distributors.  I didn't realise
you were in NZ though, and have no idea who handle them over there.

One of the ATIn commands should give you the chipset revision.

SB> Oh, why is that?

I've read that it's due to bus timing problems, but all I really know for
sure is that some internals will not work on Triton I boards.  I can't
comment on the Triton II as I've not yet tried an internal modem in one of
these.
