I too have Paradise as my ISP. The reason I can't connect faster than 33k is due to electric fence noise on the line (you can hear the regular clicks through the phone). Originally I had similar problems to you - couldn't stay connected for very long. I contacted Telecom and they put some sort of filter on the line so that now, mostly, I can stay connected for reasonable lengths of time, provided I limit the speed to 33k. Whenever I try to connect at 56k I can't stay connected for very long. Did you get a recent copy of OOo? If not I should be in Chch tomorrow and could drop a CD in. Thanks, Ian
