I recently shifted, although still very much in rural Victoria I am now in ADSL range of an exchange (just over 5000 metres cable distance). I am considering getting the Telstra S+ bundle, this being a phone and ADSL broadband with a 50g alocation a month on a 24 month contract. I am fairly happy with this bundle it will save me around $4 to 500 dollars a year and giving __much__ higher data allowance. Is there any issues with this, will it work OK into a Linux system. For instance I found with Virgin moble broadband this system had to be enabled on a Windows system, something I do not have with network access. If it helps I have a small network of 4 machines one of which is the internet access box with a "do not speak unless spoken to" fire wall set up. ie firewall is set up so that only external incoming connections that are related to outgoing connections are allowed. NO machine is on all the time, so the ADSL line will mostly be connected to machine thats switched off. Lindsay
