Just got back today, from visiting Mother. Many thanks for the "Diolma, You need to convince the mother about the advantages with a T1 line. And Happy new year! :)" sentiment. It's a lovely thought but, alas, Mother is over 80, suffers from Altzheimer's(SP?), has no computer at all and is not really interested in getting one. Not only that, she lives in a backwater village south of Guildford (Surrey, UK), where there's no cable connection. Ah well. She's still sweet tho' (if a little forgetful) :-) Happy new year to you too, Rochr, and my wishes to you for many more of them. Cheers, Diolma
