Thank you for your input and colourful character descriptions. 

Just two questions then:
1) Do you infer from your comments that Demon is the best we can find
anywhere?

2) Did Internet magazine *say* that they did not consider Dircon worth
testing and that it is an irrelevent provider : or is this an
*unsubstatiated* "truth" on your part?

PS I will forward any slanderous comments about Dircon to them.
