If you're having real problems, try finding an ISP that supports Linux. In
the UK, Connect Free <www.connectfree.co.uk> is a good, free ISP that
supports Linux (so it's web page says. I moved there purely because they
supported Linux. Fortunatly I've not had to use it yet.) Many do support
Linux.

Muttering to oneself is, contrary to popular opinion, a good thing.

Will do, I'll post the URL on the list when it's finished. I'm not
planning on it being complicated enough to cause a head banging session,
though. :-)
