Looks like the free ride will soon be over, and I just got DSL working on the studio computer

Hi Eddie
I found out lunch time as it was featured on the BBCs Working Lunch program, I have included a link to the BBC page.

Thanks for the link Bill
It seems strange that Ebay would want to acquire a VoIp company.
The Article suggests that Ebay may want their customers to be able to talk to each over the phone rather than by email, which to me has always been a pain anyway and doesn't always work. In fact whenever I have sent a mail to a prospective seller, I have yet to receive an answer.......
cheers

Wow! $2.6 billion. Somebody got rich. It amazes me the speed to which entrepreneurs can get unbelievably rich so fast in the internet age.
