We have no phone point in that room, though, and have no intention of getting one.

I'm not sure what sort of plan we are on Iain? It's a wireless rooter (or is that router?) thingymabob which has 3 PCs and 2 laptops connected to it............... I'm going to touch wood now cos up to now we haven't had one iota of trouble with it.

Initially we had problems when we couldn't get Broadband because the Wanneroo Switch dates back to the ark and Carramar wasn't deemed important enough to warrant Broadband. I told them i am running a real estate agency from home and I need Broadband ...... no ifs or buts......... they were real good about it and accordingly they put that dirty great big satellite dish thingy up on the roof and that was our Broadband version which worked very well. When the Switch at Wanneroo got upgraded we converted to normal Broadband we just changed over.................... and touch wood again........ everything thus far has worked fine.
