If you're happy adminstering the system yourself I've been very impressed with Linode.com. Cheap virtual servers with decent specs and great admin panel including a nice little web-based terminal app. r. ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish

I usually recommend Be (bethere.co.uk) if you can get their service at your exchange. They're excellent for gaming (and will enable a special gaming 'profile' on your line on request), and very reasonably priced with no throttling or bandwidth limits. My only minor quibble is that their call centre is in Bulgaria and everyone there sounds like Dracula. r. ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish

I remember as a kid poring over copies of Micro User and gazing longingly at the BBC Master Compact. I was fairly certain at that point that it was the sort of computer we'd all be using in the future. I never got one. I can't get to the Southside of Glasgow.

Thanks to everyone for offers of machines and carriage thereof. I think I'm right in thinking that Mr Rimron's non-Compact might be the best bet, as it's the one that actually works? I'm not sure my DIY skills stretch to replacing disk controllers... r. ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
