probably not the best description.
scrolling is jumpy rather than smooth (just discovered that the video device hasn't got a driver and I'm not sure of the make) - I'm going to contact the company I bought the computer from on Monday.

Cojak has joined the 21st century (now I've just got to sort out the driver for my dragging monitor).
Thanks chaps.

Or you could help AtW out and become one of his SKA troopers by using your PIII and some of your broadband Super Killer App

Dunno. You do see some fairly daft prices for ancient computers in Friday Ad and similar. Whether they get any offers I don't know but may be worth a try.
On ADSL routers, we have one by Zoom that seems to work pretty well. decent front end with diagnostic tests, status and lots of options I do not understand. Think first decision you need to make though is wires or wireless. How easy are a lot of cables through your house?
That about exhausts my knowledge on subject unless you go wired - if so please ask again Feng Shui issues, wires have to be carefully routed to avoid spoiling the Karma.

for router use 3com 3crwdr100a-72 wireless router, about £50.
PIII problem - Would you get any money for a 5 year old mobile phone, personal cd player or walkman? Technology moves on. Give it to a deserving cause or hide it in a black bag and get rid of it at the tip.

About to get broadband
Now I think I need an ADSL hardware router thingy that can have firewall software installed on it. I remember on the old forum some of our resident gee..gurus explained what what needed and who to buy it from.
Can anyone help info on this?
Ta.
Cojak - hopeless tart.
