subject: looking for a versatile TA

JC> I may be wide of the mark here but is there something

 AM> Yes, until the ETSI/OnRamp ISDN becomes widely available,
 AM> we're stuck with the Australian-specific implementation.

Is it also dissimilar to that used in Europe?

 AM> I have been in touch with USR about the I-modem but the
 AM> person I emailed said that an Australian version would be a
 AM> while yet.

 JC> These would seem to be the way to fix the current situation

 AM> Alternatively one could use a TA with a decent POTS port.
 AM> Philips and Tennyson Technologies already have such TA's on
 AM> the market.
