Most ISPs do the unmetered thang with that surfport or whatever the hell it's called. Given that, then choose the best ISP and the rest will fall in to place. I recommend Nildram - on the few occasions when I've used dial-up to get at them, it has worked as well as one can expect dial-up to work, plus, assuming that they'll need support, their support staff are clueful and aren't on a pay-through-the-nose number. -- David Cantrell | Reprobate | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david I often reflect that if "privileges" had been called "responsibilities" or "duties", I would have saved thousands of hours explaining to people why they were only gonna get them over my dead body. -- Lee K.
