[Gllug] portability of adsl connect info

[gllug at martinhunt.com]

Hi

The username & password are linked to your ISP and the ADSL on your 
phone line is also linked to an ISP.

If you are using the same ISP in both locations you should not have any 
problems (providing the login session on the original number has timed 
out and also dependent on your ISP's set up - I work for a small ISP and 
it works with our setup), if you are using different ISP's then there is 
no chance it will work.

Regards

Martin
