Thanks guys. The modem NTL are offering now sounds like the one Wayne 
describes but I will be very careful to check so I appreciate the warning.

Is the service poor in the sense that it doesn't work, has lots of 
breaks of service or that they employ monkees to answer the phone? I'm 
not relying on help from any ISP to set up a Linux connection but I 
don't want a flaky service or I'll be on-call every time one of them has 
an assignment to hand in.

Cheers,
Woo
