I've used both Demon Systems and Force 9. Demon charge #200pa for a domain name, Force9 charge a one-off #50. Guess who I'm with. If you like Usenet, don't go with Force9. If you like talking to support, don't go with Demon. > Thanks, > Ghulam -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
