Dear Herman,
I'm really greatfull for your mail and quite appreciate your advice on the
cost aspect of it. I'm really well prepared for that ( well if you aware
of I much pay for the phone here, the difference wouldn't be a much 'cos
I think I pay more for phone bills than any member of the list -cost of
phone bills in Nigeria).I'm actaully looking forward to getting a 9.6kbs
link to my ISP.
Other users on my network will be connecting to the internet via my
machine, for now it's really slow and a multilink option is out of it.
I'm really gratefull and I'll still be waiting for tips you might have for
me on changes to my system (Slackware 2.0.29).
Thanks again,
Jones
