heh, as I thought, deluged with offers, thanks very much.

Yes, she is at Nottingham Trent, but this is the wifi in her own house
that her and some friends have privately rented for their second year.
I've told her to take it to Uni and see if she can get online there,
but she says she uses the Library internet there and just wants this
for home. If you still think you could help mail me offlist and I'll
give you her mobile number.

Cheers
