Whomever, may I request a set of DVD's, I am on a 56K modem. Let me know
and I will try to sort out blank disks and postage if reasonable. My
responses may be delayed if my work involves early starts and long days.

Since there are times I desire to get larger items, I am following this
with interest. As to with whom, price and effective coverage are
significant issues. Telstra is the real option, except I dislike
assisting their management salary packages.

It would help if all providers would acknowledge that Linux is standards
compliant at the networking level. I want real support for the
connection. What I have to do to achieve the result is up to me. I do
not expect to need to be told how, just what. Currently, Telstra will
not provide "support" for Linux, including the simple link metrics.
