I tried it last night with no problems :-) Connected first time, and allowed
me to do what I wanted. No noticeable speed problems. As far as I remember
they said somewhere about having an FTP site, but I couldn't find it.
FTP'ing to them just gave me an intro html file which corresponds to the web
space they allocated to me - in that respect not what I wanted. However, I
generally use ftp.mirror.ac.uk anyway for site mirrors so no big deal.

Now if anyone knows of a decent dynamic DNS site in the UK as well, then that
would be good :-) I have given up on the one I used in the USA because it
got a little too inconsistent whenever I changed the DNS entry.

John.
