I have my copy of Demon Dispatches a few days ago. If you believe the
hype, all dial in is catered for and "they are not failing form their
own success".  The new BT Online suggests the problems with Demon is
they have 60,000 customers and bandwidth for 8,000. They would say this,
but much of it i true. And yes they seem to have forgotten the Atari
band, strumming away in the corner.

Anyone know what is happening with the B-testing of Oasis 2? Is it out
for sale/use yet? If so, does the Spider mode activate yet?
