Try connecting to http://www.computerdatasafe.com.au:5000/ with a Java-capble browser. If I got my firewall rules right, it will ask you for a password. If you want one, ask on list and I will email one off-list. I want to set up an account where you can't do much harm, and while I don't care a lot how many people try it, my connexion is limited. ADSL is good, but not _that_ good. What you will get with the password is an account on a pc running betaware, and a full gui desktop _in your browser_. -- Cheers John.
