We can guess who that one is ;-)

So long as you have the registration details, you get steered to the 
registration page regardless of what OS and browser you use.

Good stuff and good to have seen you at the LAN meet. (I'm sure your 
modem was doing 56kbits or more likely 48kbits :-P

There's http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker/cmtips/index.html 
that is a wealth of NTL info. You could offer any Linux specific hints 
'n' tips and we could put them up on the NLUG website also. (Revamp in 
progress on there, hint hint ;-) )

Enjoy the faster web response!

Welcome to the group.

Cheers,
Martin
