I've just been reading this thread from the ASX forum:

Not rushing into anything but wondering if this might be a good option for me (say 500 shares) as something to add to my mini portfolio that would appear to have real potential for growth (plus a DIRP).
I am trading through ASB Securities, which automatically sets you up with a CHESS account (sponsored by Commonwealth Securities). From what I can tell this makes it easy to trade on the ASX but I haven't yet got my head around how this works in terms of exchange rates, tax, fees etc.
