Or > am I missing a clue as to what you're meaning? :-) perhaps, an english path broken up with a country catagory, like america, australia, canada, england, new zealand and anywhere else that english is the primary language. i've gone to a lot of places on teh www to look for stuff and then got bounced to some american site because i chose my language as english. to explain why that is a problem for use who do not live on teh american subcontinent .. all teh stuff that gets to australia goes across teh pacific ocean floor bed via a cable that has its entry point at mae-west (could be mae-east, i keep getting those two confused) at any rate if that router (as robust as it is along with its huge amount of bandwidth) gets saturated my download becomes slow and unreliable pkts drop and if i'm lucky it only takes 4 or 5 cups of tea to get my 250 kbyte text file. these days it is not as bad as it used to be, i grew up with the internet in australia having a 155 kbit link to mae-west back then the link being saturated and down was at least a weekly occurence and so on. sorry if this sounds a bit extreme, but for those of us who live on teh periphery of the world it is a way of life and not just some inconvience that can be routed around if needs be. thier is also the issue of netiquette, but, well i've rambled on enough. regards and thanks jonathan -- ================================================================ powered by ..
