Thanks for that Guy.

Shortly after joining Demon I noticed a few posts about the Ascends
but had no idea what they were, or what the problem was.

I have since had quite a few failed log-ons with the symptoms you
outline.  I have noticed that once you log-on NOS prints up the
    ??.demon.co.uk
message, if that line ends with something like
    (ttyc???)
then you are OK.

Once logged in the usual news feed, www-cache etc. excuses are
printed, on the right hand end of the 1st line the ttyc??? thing is
repeated.  Unless it is an Ascend in which case you get a 5 digit
number, usually about 21000.
