green granite. That seems a very good idea but she has this bee in her bonnet about activating it straight away. I will try to sell that to her.
Out of interest, the process you describe is nearly identical to the one being used. Her first question will probably be that if we can't activate it now, how do we know it will allow activation in 30 days time. My argument will probably be that it will give time to set up the modem to allow "automatic" registration. I was quite keen on P.Pilcher's manual solution, though.
Again, many thanks.
