Greetings all,
I am now able to use the latest OSX.4.2 and the Open NT1 Plus II ISDN modem.

This was achieved by purchasing a Netgear fr328s Router $199.00 from Harris Technology Osb Pk.

Westnet support were extremely helpful in advising how to set up the modem as a "dumb box", (their term).

That is, the ISDN modem is no longer is connected via the USB port but the serial connection, thereby overcoming the connectivity problems created by Apple/Telstra/Open NT not getting together to sort their differences.

They no doubt will have a fix eventually, as they did last year, but Murphy will remind us that they probably will mess it up again next time there is an upgrade in the OS.

The added benefit is that the router also enhances the firewall capabilities.

Anyone interested about more info please mail me off list (as I get the digest only) or call me.


Regards,

Rod
