Interesting, did not know that such devices had a USB port. Still a question on activation, whether possible under Linux, or whether still requires a Windows PC, optionally a Mac as an alternative. Were the activation to be done by a Perl script, with Perl being provided for Windows, then would be possible on almost any computer. > If Telstra wasn't so hell bent on milking every consumer [of any type] > for as much as they can and if they cared about keeping our network up > to world standards without super premium pricing, well ..

Telstra are not good, but the rest are the same. As to network maintenance, investment and the like, Jackboot Johnny was hell bent on privatisation. As a Government monopoly, it was suboptimal, privatised and with competition, it has gone a long way backwards, lining executive pockets along the way.
