(Sorry for the delay in replying, just back from my holidays) I joined force9. I went on the Easy Start package at �25.00 a month. No Setup fees (Except the postage for posting the modem) They sent a modem Free a Binatone ADSL 500 USB Modem, which works under Linux (Getting it going takes a few manual commands(you might be able to automate it, but it works and that is enough for me) but once it is going is solid as a rock.). Force9 do not supply linux drivers, but I did get the link from a forum post You also get CGI, a MySQL server, fax to email service, web stats and lots of other things. I would reccomend them. -- Phil Deane http://www.MiracleExpress.force9.co.uk _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
