What exactly does that mean, regarding LinuxIT/LinuxWA and Conceptual? 
Is/was Conceptual part of LinuxIT/LinuxWA?

There was something with Conceptual (I believe that is what used to be 
WASP), where their ADSL appeared to be for Windows only, and only 
capable of serving a single PC connection (could not be connected to a 
gateway PC on a LAN), from the information that I got from them about 
ADSL. Apart from that, there was an advisory notice that Conceptual 
payments would no longer be accepted at LinuxIT/LinuxWA. Also, the ADSL
modems available from Conceptual/WASP, appeared to be the DL ones that 
have been damned on this list, and the maximum speed available for 
normal home use, appeared to be 128kb/s, from the information that I was 
sent.

So, clarification of all of this, would be good.
