Guys,
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm still undecided whether to stick with
Dyn+=C2=A3 or move to another free service but its nice to know there are
g=
ood
experiences of the other free providers.
I've googled a bit, but am surprised there's not much in the way of doing
this on a DIY basis. I'd need an "idiots guide" though as my
programming
skills are limited(!).
Cheers,
Tim.
