Thanks Ausatco, appreciated!
So general best tip, as we've known all along, is bin animations. One day when we're all broadband no problems but we see the results all too well as we monitor our server.
Sorry about the Mac problems Oswald - if you click on the 'contact us' caption at the bottom of every page you can write directly to Danny for expert advice. He uses ISDN through several ISP's and enjoys living on the hairy edge of the performance envelope.
Regarding general problems of this sort I'm very pleased to report that we've persuaded a regular and very keen PPL PPruNer who's here everyday to assist CrashDive on this forum.
We'll make a formal introduction in a few days but suffice to say he's a full time tech support boss for a busy UK ISP. A very pleasing addition to the PPruNe team indeed.
