I too have this problem at the moment.  I've only had my Mac for three
days, so I'm struggling a bit to come up to speed, but from my ringing
around it seems that the Psion (I have the same card as you) is V.90 and
many Australian ISPs are not yet (I also live in Adelaide, and none here
are compliant to my knowledge).  Big Pond is beta testing in Sydney and
Melbourne, but until it gets rolled out in Adelaide, I think you will have
to dial your ISP at a slower speed.

Regards
Mark
