I can not comment on the HST 9600 modem but I can comment on using
modems out of the US that were not made for the phone system they
are used on. You may find out that the modem will not like the
"Dial Tone" it gets down under. I have tried to use modems in W. Germany,
Italy, and the UK and I have had to turn on the "X3" option which
is "Ignore Dial Tone". Sometimes your call goes through
and other times it doesn't. If you have good lines from down
under you should be able to do 9600 but I would expect fallback to 2400-1200
but I could be wrong.
