Apparently systems using MacOs 3.5+ require that the Open NT1 Plus II

carried out by a knowledgeable Telstra technician by phone. This has

Has anyone tried this version? Many overdue functions have been added,

PS Sorry about leaving the previous thread in this message, I think
it is probably apt. If a 56k connection has probs with text Id be
looking for a new ISP or something.
Pricing issues are irrelevant to users like myself who live in the Metro
