Ouch! :-) I guess many of us are just taking Broadband for granted... The
only people I know who are still on dial up are my next door neighbours.
They are a retired couple who use the Internet only for email to their
family. (It must be dreadful when they are downloading baby pictures :-))

Obviously, for me, it has become an essential tool and I can't imagine how
I'd get on without it (although we all did for years...). I wish I could
help, Rick, but I guess I can't; there's no point me placing it on a higher
speed server if you are limited to 56K... Got any friends with Broadband?
Maybe someone could cut you a CD...

Pete.
