To: janet paterson >>i'm glad to help, dan sniffing things out on the net is one of my favourite things [and my web access is paid up until june 2000!!!] so don't hesitate to ask again i understand 'expensive' surfing completely! years ago, when i lived in bermuda, i belonged to compuserve and my dialup access phone number was in new york! yikes!>> Yes, I'm in Ciudad del Carmen, and my access number is (where else?) Mexico City. So they charge a hefty surcharge, plus I pay for the phone call. But, at least it works well. Regards, Dan
