Running a cable is a bad idea if there's a thunderstorm! So don't do it 
on a long-term basis.

Plus.net have a backup dial-up number if you have an old modem. I saw 
the number a few days ago; if you can't find it, I can take another 
look. I think it's on the My Account pages in their 'portal'.

Cofion,
