We use one currently for our dialup IP access. A local ISP is now offering IDSL lines (128k) for around NZ$200 per month, but that's only for the first 100MB, after that it's NZ$1.20 per meg or thereabouts. Unfortunately, the reality for NZ is that's a stupendously good deal - about as good as it gets. -- C. -- Craig Harding Head of Postproduction, Outpost Digital Media Ltd "I don't know about God, I just think we're handmade" - Polly To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
