I am getting similar problems with my iinet adsl application. The exchange supports adsl, but because i am not with tel$tra for my home landline account, tel$tra say that my line is not active.
I have inquired, and it turns out that if you report this problem to the TCO, the TCO will investigate the problem with iiNet and not the actual source of the problem, Tel$tra. The only way to get my line ADSL approved straight away is to sign up with Tel$tra for the landline service, then switch to someone cheaper sometime later...
Cheers,
Steve
