Net. Here is a directory to the online phone books on the Web.

AUSTRALIAN STOCK EXCHANGE
http://www.asx.com.au/
While Telstra leads the world telecommunications community in
putting maximum content online, the Australian Stock Exchange
lags behind its peers in North America, UK and Asia. However,
the ASX has just started putting online daily price data for
shares, options and indices. Just 'last sale' price and volume for
traded securities. Information is available after 11pm. Too little
and too late but it is a step in the right direction. Useful if you
need to check on your portfolio while crossing the Great Sandy
Desert.
