Looks like it's a goer for me then. The current detail (for 128k/512k
line)=
is =A325/m inc modem or =A320/m ex modem. As there is only one approved mo=
dem at present and it costs =A3150 the inclusive price looks even better.
A=
s Michael mentioned there is a 64k version of =A310/m (not sure if modem
is=
included), but if your treating yourself I always believe in spending lots=
of money!

One techy questions that I'm sure I know the answer to is this. If my ISP

Also, does anyone use Nortons Personal Firewall software. Currently I use
