Here are all the details. In regional Australia, we encounter problems that our city counterparts never experience. If a phone line happens to go over an electric fence and that fence gets turned on, it creates an electric field and everybody drops a connection except me. I've had one of these for over two years now, and the only time I get cut off is when the I.S.P. cuts me off. http://www.maestro.com.au/woomera.htm Regards, David.
