It works as far as it goes, but I have not been able to set it up so
that I can send a disable prefix with my normal dial string.  The
problem is that the prefix dials and connects, Telstra answers and tells
you that it has been set, and you must hang up before dialling again. 
Under Win95, I fiddled with my modem strings to try to get a hang up
inserted into the string, but I was not able to make it work in one
access.  Under unix it should be possible to write the chat script to do
it, but I haven't thought about it.

Yours faithfully,
