Too late but thanks for the info. I fully expect the response from Best
Data would be 'no, we do not recommend using US products on other phone
systems' which means it works but they can't be bothered to support it.
I got the USR modem in the end, the tech guy was adamant it would work
on anything I threw it at, the script he mentioned was even in the
OT/PPP 1.0 package, although I don't know if it will run at 56k from
that CCL, but I have the 56k CCL just in case :).
Thanks for all your help but it really is better for warranty
reasons/customs etc. that I buy a UK modem. Not to mention replacing the
power brick, I don't think USR bricks are proprietary either BTW, I
looked the power input spec up and it's just a standard 9.2V transformer
from what I could tell. Soon find out :).
