Those of us with grown-up operationg systems probably want a real internet
connection rather than BT's mangled portal service (assuming from conversations
that the Demon trial offering is the same NAT offering as the the BT
Openworld launch).  Don't know if Demon's 'live' offering will involve a
real, two-way connection; if not, wait for local-loop unbundling when
*someone* will offer a simple IP pipe without any of this 'premium content'
nonsense BT want to push.
