I downloaded a copy of 1.1.4 _before_ my service became infuriating unserviceable. That's the binaries for Linux and Windows. I got off the Internet and talked to someone at Paradise last night. Not much was resolved, but at least I was able to talk. Then I rang Telecom today and found that my line was apparently fine, no problems there. I was told to get a new double-adapter - don't know whether that will do anything. ;) > > Thanks, Ian Thanks Wesley Parish -- Clinersterton beademung, with all of love - RIP James Blish ----- Mau e ki, he aha te mea nui?
