With regards to a question last week on this list about an Aussie modem,
and a few discussions on buggy or ill performing adsl modems over the
past month I thought I might just remind all of the people on this list
that only stuff with Telepermit stickers may be plugged into the Telecom
network.

Check www.telepermit.co.nz for more information, but the key paragraph
is copied below. Also remember the same make and model as a NZ version,
may not be identical, so be wary about plugging anything in to the phone
line if it doesnt have that little green sticker.

        "New Zealand law states that "no person shall connect anything
        to a telecommunications network without the agreement of the
        network operator" (S.6, Telecommunications Act, 1987). Telecom's
        agreement to the connection of any device is shown by its
        Telepermit label. In general, NO label means NO agreement.
        Telepermits are granted only to designs that meet Telecom's
        transmission and signalling performance requirements and which
        can be expected not to interfere with other services or users.
        In addition all products must meet New Zealand electrical safety
        requirements"
