In the UK the free ISPs work by exploiting a thing in the UK phone system where they can use a special phone code (0845) and they get a slice of the local call charge that it costs to ring it. That way there is very little in the way of ads, apart from on the ISP's websites and stuff. *notices how off-topic this thread has become* Whoops... sorry about starting this :o) -Martin |\/| _..__|_o._ /\_|_| o._ _ mart.atkins@-- | |(_|| |_|| | /--\|_|<|| |_> --bigfoot.com
