Well, unfortunately I have no choice, for the time being I have to use
T-Online (Deutsche Telekom's ISP), the T-DSL connection won't allow
using another ISP. I could switch to another phone/internet provider
though, but until now there's no other company offering ADSL connection
here where I live. And if I did switch to the other company, then I
would have to make all phone calls through them, which would cost much
more then now, because as former monopolist the Deutsche Telekom is
forced to allow people to use other phone companies, but the other are
not.

Unfortunately there's no Gnutella client for Amiga so far. I'm using
Amster and there are some pretty useful free Napster servers. And I
realy don't mind all the world downloading from me, I have flatrate
anyway and thus keep my machine 24/7 online. Since I have 768k download
and only 128k upload, it would bei much easier for me to get the songs I
want then for the others to get something from me, only this problem
with upload affecting download makes me unlucky.
Schei� Telekom ;-)))
(I bet nobody needs a tranlation for this)
