No, I don't have free phone service, but I do have a separate line for the computer. That way I can do large downloads, 24/7. The only thing is, while using Windows and WSFTP Pro, Windows loses time and generally slows to a stop. So, every few hours I have to reboot to restore my system resources. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gunnar Flygt" <gunnar@pluto.sr.se> To: "Ronald G.
