There are a few standards for xDSL.  ADSL down here uses the G.Lite
standard (maximum speed 1M5/256kbps), so as long as the modem supports
that it'll be fine technically (although legally you cannot connect any
equipment that doesn't have AU approval, including a foreign version of a
device that does have AU approval).

Prices for modems offered by ISPs at signup have become so cheap here that
it may not be worth your friend bringing the modem with him ;-)  Check out
www.whirlpool.net.au for info on xDSL ISPs here.  Check out OZtell also --
to bring this back on-topic a bit -- an ISP offering xDSL service at good
rates and introducing VoIP facilities as well.

Cheers,
Vic Cross
