Indeed, the are not (AFAIK), and are horrible, evil things anyway.

Banksia are good value - I happen to have a Wave Sp V.90 here that
is currently surplus to requirements, and in perfect condition,
should you care to make me a sensible offer.

I have been using this to connect to my ISP for several months now,
and have just gone over to a 3COM Pro Messaging Modem (I need the
off-line FAX capability, which the Banksia doesn't have).
