536823 2007-03-29 21:56:00 Do u mean where do u find it on the site, or where do u find it in Windows??

If Windows (XP) u double click on my network places on the desktop / view network connections.

If the icon for it is here, create a shortcut so its on the desktop.

536827 2007-03-30 10:26:00 You wont get much useful info, From what I have been told all lines out of Wanganui are controlled by Xtra, and when times are busy Xtra give themselves peferential treatment, all the other ISP's get whatever is left.

That aside, The internet has moved on from Dialup, Even sites like Pressf1 are difficult to use unless the connection is performing well, Many other sites are impossible to use.

And what would you save?,5 or 10 bucks a month?

Personally If I couldn't have ADSL at a minimum I wouldn't even bother, Even emailing a couple of photo's is a sad joke on dialup.

You did not get much right Metla.
There is nothing wrong with a good dialup connection for the person who only wants to do web browsing and email.

The saving is probably more like $20 per month

A couple of good photo's may only be 600kb and is no problem.
I can load Press F1 on dialup just as fast as a broadband connection as confirmed by observation. The speed that web sites load are not always improved by the speed of the connection, many other factors play a part.
