Hi

Firstly, thanks to all those that responded; even if it did stray from
my original questions into ADSL etc etc.

One question, what is WAIX??

One observation - no one appeared to recommend the isp they were
actually using!

On the topic of WP. I went to a marketing talk where a group of people
(including myself) who were asked if they would support a service, which
was the WP offering. We were told that it would cost $65 per month; but
I haven't heard anything since (that was about Nov 2000).

Regards

Wayne
