I meant the "Internet link to Australia" in terms of their (single) circuit
to The Internet and/or Internet connectivity to Australia; lest it
cause confusion we'll explain more detail in future.

By the way our FR router (which provides some but not all of our
connectivity to TuiaNet) was not swapped today - the replacement
arrived with the wrong software and was possibly in an unsafe
state :-(.  We should receive the right software soon (which
is supposed to include a number of improvements for Frame Relay
access in particular).  We have also ordered a replacement router
which will allow netbooting and support Flash memory (so box
switches or - worse - EPROM replacements won't be needed to upgrade
software).
