I did send that note as soon as I found out that I couldn't reach any of 
the information I was looking for. I posted the first article of this 
thread afterwards, because I find it hard to accept that the people 
running the freenet didn't know about this, when they should have.

The problem I see with all of the sound and graphics on the web is that 
a lot of the people who put that up expect everybody else to have an ISDN 
connection (at least--god forbid!--a 28.8), as if we all started buying 
computers yesterday, or can upgrade daily!
The same way we didn't all buy computers yesterday, we are not all as 
insecure as some of the people that have to have the latest fad, and ram 
it down our throats, to feel like a whole person again.
