Many thanks Paul,
Here we don't get reminded of the past, we in Telstra's infinite wisdom 
still live in it. Surprised they still don't use uni and bi-selectors in 
the local exchange :-)
Am trying to convince Telstra to stop ripping me off, had 33 drop outs 
since 26 Jan and would
really like some of my money back.  They did a Molds test today using 
their laptop, which showed as being fine, which it is most of the time, 
but they won't do anything until they actually use my machine.
Have tried 2 different modems (external) on 2 different machines with 
the drop outs still occurring.
Still waiting for the Government's promise of broadband for all, but 
have been through HBIS and other programmes, all came to nothing, still 
only dialup access and am not holding my breath that things will 
change.. Can get access with Telstra's next G system, but is very expensive,
Where I live standard mobile phones don't work, only cdma and next G 
phones are any good.
Take Care
