Hi man.

Well, I guess I could live with that. ICQ would make it feasable I
guess.. I just don't know what it will be like here in the UK, do French
systems use the Amierican standard for cable modems?

NNNNNAAAAAAAAAGGGGGG!!

The basic cable modem package is �50/month here (�40 for cable modem,
�9.96 for ISP/cable TV/cable phone which you must have). ADSL will be
even more. Why is the UK such a bloody rip off?

Still, it would be nasty with Quake etc. Also, if I'm trying to serve
several people it could be a problem :(
