I think the cheapest packages are about a tenner a month, with unlimited downloading including Skype for about £25 which would cover most of the cost of your outgoing phone calls. It would also often be 1,000 times as fast!

I access this forum via newsreader software instead of email, not least to avoid having emails from it clogging my in box. I recommend this approach to you. I use the news host Gmane. I use Free Agent as the software, but I hear this is no longer made freely available by its publisher. I believe Outlook Express will do the job, though. Adrian . Adrian Stott 07956-299966
