Good to see you're still with us, Kev. Meantime, my ISP has still not re-connected me (though it was quick enough to debit me for the monthly fee the other day). Right now, I'm connected -- via a 30-yard long network cable -- stretched between the PC to my next-door neighbour's modem. At least in Leicester you have powerful UK regulation on telecom and broadband suppliers. Here in France, the industry is pretty well unreglulated, the consumer organisations are in cahoots with the servers, and the whole thing is a bloody shambles. Hoots. Neil
