I think it has something to do with the V90 implementation of the iMac
internal not liking something about your local phone line- or the V90
implementation in Ascends used by Freeserve and Demon. Or a combination of
those factors.

Try changing one of the variables by using the Demon Green Romp, 0845 212
0666, which uses 3Com Network Access Servers (NASs), instead of Ascends. It
might work for you, or it might not.
