Agreed. I have 2 ISP accounts. One is a fixed, unlimited access account. The
other is a pay by the minute job. I know I'm using a web interface on the
Smoothwall firewall to connect, and it tells me which ISP I am dialling, but
it's still nice to hear a phone No that I'm familiar with being dialed on the
modem.
Well the "Dance mat drumming" download has finished now. This will be
interesting, if I can get Mplayer to work.

i'm
downloading now, too.... looks like 25.1Mb.

Thanks. In that case I'll copy the 8.4MB partial DL to the other machine,
and continue it there.
This is what comes from being on dialup. 600+MB of updates just done for
FC5. 8 days DL'ing over 3GB of iso's on 5 discs, plus the rescue disc.
But it's all great fun isn't it.
