[plug] Linux support for schools

[Jason :)]

i assume you man the time betwwen calls? it depends on your ISP. Most
(including mine) have guidelines that they like you to wait a certain time
between calls...some say 5 minutes, others 15. You should check with them.

BTW, what, in Oz, is considered a 'reasonable holdoff'?  A minute?  Or more?
I vaguely recall something in a modem manual suggesting it was naughty to
slam calls through end-to-end.
