Did post message to list on sunday saying i'll update group in couple of weeks but haven't seen it posted (know it's gone out, at least it's in the sent box in webmail). In case that message didn't get out. Well I've changed DNS settings from the old numbers to the new. Refer to simon knights'

I am on Vodafone cable. Some evenings links take so long to come up that I give up for the night. Just a gut thought that this seems to be since Vodafone took over Telstra cable. This applies to browsing and email. Of course a query to their help line brings the usual 'not us' response. I
