Hi All, It seems this failed to make it onto the mailing list for some reason or other. - HiltonT -----Forwarded Message----- From: John Russell <j r @ d a t a l i n e . n e t . a u To: Hilton Travis <H i l t o n @ Q u a r k A V . c o m Subject: Re: [Oz-ISP] telstra bigpond dialup adds Date: 18 Oct 2002 13:36:30 +1000 This is nonsense. Are you saying that Telstra detects which phone line you are using and to where it is dialing, and then immediately somehow "cleans" the line so it works really good on Big Pond? and then if you use the line to dial your shitty ISP, Telstra goes through the same detection process to make sure you get a "bad" line that causes droputs? GET A LIFE!
