   Hello Ward,

   Do they value the intelligence of their cusomers that low? People in countries   
   all over Europe have the router password for access to the firewall and the   
   InterNet does not implode.

   Bullshit. My ISP can do a firmware upgrade and I can not block them from doing   
   that despite the fact that I have a password for making chages needed to run   
   severs. All they need to do is rearange the access levels.   
      
   An internet connection that does not allow the customer to access the firewall   
   is a broken connection. How come the consumer allience - or whatever you have   
   over there - does not make a fuss about it.   
      
   Are you really stuck with Proximus?   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
