Right. I obviously can't tell the difference between fibre and co-ax. ;-)

What does a fibre cable look like - 1 glass tube or multiple tubes-
surrounded by a protective outer?

The stuff I've seen is pretty similar to co-ax from the outside, ie round.
But then some twisted pair is round too. So I'd say the only way to be
sure is to strip it back, if there's nothing labelled on the outside.

In some exchanges the fibre used is BT Openreach installed, wholesale managed, Virgin marketed and providing a service to Virgin customers to link into Virgin equipment. Others it may be Virgin kit and cable all the way to your premises. -- Steve Pampling

Haven't had that problem here (and I use many different email aliases for specific purposes). But reminds me to mention that if you use Netfetch (or Hermes) it's worth configuring more than one SMTP server. You might have several that you are entitled to use: the one at your ISP for sure, but if you have a web domain hosted somewhere, that host probably offers SMTP service too. Configure each of them ready for use, so that if your usual one goes down you can simply select an alternative from the dropdown menu in "Netsurf choices > Account > SMTP server". -- Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk

And you can do it with POPStar too, though it is a bit of a hack and so it takes me about 10 s to switch. I have posted the trick here before, and could do so again if there is interest. -- Russell http://www.russell-hafter-holidays.co.uk Russell Hafter Holidays E-mail to enquiries at our domain Need a hotel? <http://www.hrs.com/?client=en__blue&customerId=416873103>

Much quicker if you write a bit of BASIC to sort the mail into appropriate directories (which it creates from the details in the envelope files) and then switches from user to user to post any content in the directory structure created. Being BASIC I see no reason it wouldn't work on all machines including the new tranche. > I have posted the trick here before, and could do so again > if there is interest. I've mentioned the BASIC app before, no surge of interest yet. -- Steve Pampling

I may need to change my ISP soon & have been looking at Which magazine and canvassing advice amongst acquaintances. PlusNet comes out pretty well. Also recommended by Andrew Rawnsley of R-Comp.

The only thing that would worry me is that they're owned by BT. I've been with Andrews & Arnold for ten years now. Not the cheapest but if you want rock-solid reliability from people who know what they're doing... I've never had cause to complain about any aspect of their service, ever. And unlike some ISPs that grind to a halt when too many people are online at the same time, A&A provide a good contention ratio which means my speed seems to be pretty constant at most times.

Got my MAC from TalkTalk, so it's going ahead. (They called it a MAC code
in the email header. ;-))
I didn't want to start the usual debate about which ISP is best - I
actually found Pipex and its later owners OK in general, as I don't make
vast demands on it. BT are giving me a better deal, and all my family are
with them with no complaints. In other words I'm not willing to pay extra
for possibly things I'll not use or need.
All I really wanted was to know any gotchas when setting it up with the
Acorn side.

There may be a simpler answer, depending on whether your existing router is locked down to TalkTalk or not. If it isn't, once your BT service goes live you just need to log in to your existing router and change the broadband username/password to something along the lines of firstname.lastname@btbroadband.com for the username, and Any0ldRubb1sh for the password. No other configuration changes should be necessary, unless any of the settings that follow are different... VPI - 0 VCI - 38 Encapsulation - PPPoA (PPP over ATM) Multiplexing - VC-Mux or VC Based Assuming this works, your existing network settings will do just fine, TYVM. Only gotcha is that if you need tech support, they will probably ask you to connect up the BT Home Hub, so don't flog it on any well-known auction sites... -- Brian Howlett - email to From: address deleted unseen ---------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not telling you who I work for - in any case, there's no way anything posted (or mailed!) by me can be attributed to them....

No. It's a wireless Billion bought from CJE, IIRC. Can be accessed using
Fresco.

I was hoping the home hub, being several years newer, might have a better
performance? Are you saying it can't be set to what I want? And can my existing router work with fibre? (I've not seen how it's done)
