I used the number and other data mentioned previously in this group with a PC (I put
a 56K modem in just for this job, and it worked fine. Voyager's Javascript wasn't up
to the job. I logged on with no problem and it gave me all the data I
needed to get the Amiga online. The trick was to ignore the values for
DNS and let them be dynamically assigned.

I guess that I had struck lucky. Sometimes it's better to be lucky
than smart! I'm suprised that you didn't fall foul of their support
staff. When I enquired a year or two ago, Amigas were actually banned
on principle from Cabletel's internet service.
Back to my problem. I keep getting a yellow guru message. It comes and
goes but at the moment I'm having to pick up tonight's e-mail via my
Freeserve account (a much maligned ISP as I find it an ideal reserve
account).
What puzzles me is why NTL can force a Guru on a similar setup to
Freeserve, Force 9 and several other ISPs I've tried. Not connecting
is one thing but this does seem a little odd.
