Welcome Matt !
I ALSO hail from the Old Country, but have been here nearly 30 years ( ! ) - Just my 2 cents (ooops! PENCE ! ) - When I was trying to find a way of connecting to the net (at ALL) a year and a half ago, I picked up a Thomson Speedtouch modem from someone on Glasgow-Freeshare (and btw - you can join both Glasgow-Freeshare and Glasgow-Freecycle at yahoogroups - worth it, believe me!) - ANYWAY, I certainly found configuring the Speedtouch AT ALL to be extremely complex and fraught with ifs ands and buts in various Linux message board postings from around Earth - I eventually settled - as I said to John Seago - on the Safecom ADSL Modem Router, though this may be way basic for what you are looking to do - You just plug it in and it's recognised and functions! There's something to be said for this... Enjoy Scoatland! - babaguy " - a Thomson Speedtouch or Zyxel might be good for that, but YMMV; check first." _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.
