i have serious doubts as to whether uploads are not calculated. BSNL counts uploads also. I have a feeling that the person who wrote the FAQ was told that uploads are negligible compared to downloads and that they would not substantially affect the billing and he translated this to mean that uploads are not billed. This is easily solved by uploading a big chunk of stuff and seeing if it is billed. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
