I had a link in my favourites to a site similar to listbot but I lost it somehow. I was wondering if anyone had any clues as to what site it might be? I can't figure it out for the life of me but I remember it was good and free. (Tried Google..) Thanks in advance.

how do they calculate how much it'll cost to get broadband on an exchange because exchanges are all the same size and all cover 5.5km wiring. So why dose it cost different prices? thanx

There's new DG824M firmware available from my site at http://www.wirefreelondon.com/netgear_firmware.html It appears to improve the wireless transfer speed. Cheers Jamie -- Jamie Tudor, London, UK

Most ISPs seem able to manage to provide mail servers larger than their own gravitational radius, and all is sunshine and light.

Since installing broadband I no longer seem able to use my modem. I'm connecting to B-band using a D-Link DSL504 ADSL router. The standard XP diags on the modem report that it's working fine, but using the diags that came with the (Conexant) modem report that there is no dial tone. Plugging a phone into the same socket, I do get a dialtone. I have installed the modem in a friend's PC and it...

Hi I now have the option of adsl (or will have very soon as the trigger level has been hit), I have home highway in my study (and no other phone lines) and various normal phone points connected to an additional normal phone line through the house. I would like to keep the hh box and 2 lines in my study so could I install a wireless router direct to one of the other phone lines and then connect...
