I'm on dialup - one of the people supporting telstra-clear's gambling on the investment markets and government bailouts, I expect. ifconfig: ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:210.246.27.44 P-t-P:202.0.46.83 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1159 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1379 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:641637 (626.5 KiB) TX bytes:196778 (192.1 KiB) Looks okay to me. I'm thinking it's probably also telecom's gambling on the investment markets and government bailouts - ie, their total lack of interest in maintaining their copper megamiles for which they are so happy to take an arm and a leg for. But I've already lost two goes at downloading the zarafa source code - a mere 2 megabytes. And it's starting to piss me off royally. I'll probably ring up both telstraclear and telecom in the morning and give them rockets about their incompetence. Wesley Parish > > -- > Steve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > "Sharpened hands are happy hands.
