Just a thought....I presume you have an ISP in Oz. If so, GRICDial may be just the ticket. It is a small program and has a database of just about every country you could wish for and telephone dial up numbers of ISPs in these countries. It is a free program and I use it all over the place.
It can be found at
GricDial .
All you need to do is enter the details of your Oz ISP in the setup, select the country & city you're in, and dial away. Should only be a local call.
The only requirement is that you U]must[/U] have an account with an ISP (in your home country) that participates in the program.
Hope this helps.
Best!
