Agreed. I have 2 ISP accounts. One is a fixed, unlimited access account. The
other is a pay by the minute job. I know I'm using a web interface on the
Smoothwall firewall to connect, and it tells me which ISP I am dialling, but
it's still nice to hear a phone No that I'm familiar with being dialed on the
modem.
Well the "Dance mat drumming" download has finished now. This will be
interesting, if I can get Mplayer to work.
