I really really meant unlimited bandwidth and $15 per year. Actually there is a limit of about 768K I think but this will more than suffice for a few years, eventually I expect this limit will be removed. No $15 is not an underestimate considering all the relevant factors (which I'm afraid I can't divulge at the moment). regards damian -- * PIAB - PoP In A Box - the total solution for ISPs, with more features * than a Constable landscape, and very cheap too!! * http://www.cablenet.net/cablenet/popinabox/ * Damian Hamill damian@cablenet.net
