Dave, and anyone else listening, I've had some response form Demon, and so
far things are looking good.

The first guy suggested I use the following number instead of my old 01749
number:

0845-3505033

This was better but would frequntly drop connection immediately after
connecting.

The second guy I spoke to said the above number was primarily for Demon
games, and that I should use:

0845-2121666

Which has given me no problems whatsoever. :)


                  All the best,
                        Angus Manwaring.       (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)
