According to literature, broadband (adsl ) is 203.97.33.14/203.97.37.14 - these two are great. dialup is allegedly .1 not .14, and the outworkers were looking for dsl on the 203.96 subnet womewhere. If you can see the first two, then use them with confidence. And if that's not the kiss of death, then nothing is! Steve
