The SA service is interesting: in Renmark, it allowed two hours per
day, but in the other places that I accessed it (Port Augusta, Moonta),
it allowed 8 hours.

Login is via a web page that comes up when you start your browser (or
kick it by entering a non-address). The page has the conditions of use,
then a form for username and password.

I should have mentioned that the service is free.
