The pennies all seem to add up to fifteen quid more or less, prices are
floating around to match AOL (or so it seems). BT's SurfTogether seems a
very poor offering in comparison. As I said, this was mainly for the trouble

requiring security over AOL! The Winmodem on this box precludes Linux access
for the time being anyway.
