Sorry to be late in replying (just ordered a foldover for my MinisQ60), the ISP is called Sonow sign up online at http://signup.sonow4u.co.uk .My mother has been using them for years and never had a single SPAM.
Telephone number = 0845 6652218 DNS servers = 212.85.249.130 & 212.1.130.32 but use ORSC instead (see below) SMTP mail server = mail.sonow4u.co.uk POP3 mail server = mail.sonow.com Could Jonathan Dent TCP/IP stack's DNS Resolver be configured to point at the Open Root Server Confederation DNS servers rather than the ICANN legacy servers. This would mean instead of seeing just the usual names you could see other TLDs (Top Level Domains) like http://www.bbc.news .Would people be interested in a free .ql domain or would they prefer ql.sinclair. For more info see http://www.open-rsc.org , http://www.youcann.org or my site running on this computer at http://speccyverse.homedns.org/bt/orsc.htm .I hope to be able to get an ARM Linux box to run a DNS server for this and other domains and point to all alternative international generic TLDs. Another free ISP I have used is BT, I can give the details if you want. I use NTL broadband at the moment and try to use their NTLWorlds servers mail,news,DNS,web as little as possible because they are unreliable. I use Sonow for backup and web hosting, which has unlimited file space within reason. -- Tarquin Mills RUNG (RISC OS Users, Norfolk Group) http://speccyverse.homedns.org/rung/ (running on RISC OS) New domain name coming soon http://***.***********.**.**/
