No, unfortunately you are quite right.  I was speaking to dave@demon.net 
this afternoon, who sympathises, but is unable himself to allocate an
extra IP address for the Acorn stack.  However, he suggested I talk to
customer services (who, apparently, have no email address!  I'm impressed...)

I shall be doing so and will advise the group of their response.  They're
moaning about numbering space, but I can't see the problem myself - I thought
that allocation was free, OK they've got to demonstrate the need, but in
their position I would have thought that was self-evident.  Perhaps it's
a little more strain on their routers, but heck!  I'd be happy
to pay a setup charge, but not more than 10% difference on standing charge
and I'd begrudge any.  And obviously the one host only rule is not affected.

Anyway, more anon.
