This will have to be my last mailing on this subject.

I successfully connected to ntl: without the use of the CD (except for the
serial number etc.) or a PC (to which I have no access). I used the latest
full version of Aweb (v3.3) and Miami SSL and a great deal of patience. I
checked the URL: this morning and did not receive an error message. As I
obviously can't register twice and therefore cannot check further screens.

I can only wish anybody who trys to get connected this way the best of luck
- I did it so it can be done.
