Maybe not, Sam. I've had ISP support personel who didn't know anything
except Windows and they *refused to believe* that any enduser would
need to know DNS numbers. And if they suspected that you were trying
to use "unsupported software" they would just tell you to upgrade to
something "more up to date".
Sometimes you have to make an "end run" around those kind of guys if
you don't have ready alternatives.
