Thanks, forgot about that. Still, 256k upstream ain't so bad since the
access would be occasional from each office.

It's just occurred to me that the Demon Express ADSL account is only 10 quid
more a month than SDU, so it may be better to go for that, if its available,
instead of mucking about with Smurftime.

Not sure about OWA, but I'm off to price up Terminal Server now.

Thanks Steve :)
