Hi Peter,

Try the adsl demand register from Telstra, if enough people want it, it gets it happening, otherwise there is always the one-way satellite/phone hook-up it works quite well for my parents. I did have a friend of mine mention that they had the same problem with optusnet, I asked them after I saw the post, they said that they ended up ditching optus dial-up because they couldn't sort out the problem for them either.

Sorry I can't be of any more help.

Cheers,

Allan
