[Gloucs] Extra ISP accounts.

[GEOFF BAGLEY]

Hi David.

What I really want is an additional
interconnection via Plusnet but to
keep BTinternet which is used by
other members of the family.
I already have Google gmail as a
standby.
I have one phone line, normal broadband ( i.e.  not the new fancy
one which is unacceptable) with a
NETGEAR router whih I am allowed to
program myself. I also use the SIP
phone service called sipgate.

If I just ditch BT-Yahoo other family
users are affected.

Thanks for your interest, and also to
Ernie whose remarks tally with a 
friend who already used Plusnet.

Geoff
