 From my limited knowledge a R.I.M. is a way for Telstra to save money when 
they setup small estates.
Basically they chuck fibre from an exchange out to a box in your estate, 
then run the copper from there.

Unfortunately ADSL needs copper all the way to the exchange, so if you are 
on a R.I.M. - you don't get ADSL.

Someone correct me if i am wrong, otherwise HTH
