Thanks heaps man

I should be fine with the CLI. Used to DOS and Linux.
Any idea what the best way to connect to the net is. I have to ring some ISPs again, cause they haven't got back to me. I've heard about some kind of vampire tap for fibre optic cables. If there's one nearby, I will see about something like that. Otherwise I had the thought of bouncing to the nearest exchange, and from there it should be possible to have some sort of connection to the ISP, seeing as they have a few different types of data connections going through the exchanges.
