David, thanks for the reply.

>Bottom line, static IP is something you may have to wrestle them for, but it usually can be done. However, even though those guys couldn't provide the static on DSL, my DSL provider can. Many can, but won't. Go figure.<

Interesting stuff. Thanks for the tip-off.

>If you do web work, you WILL learn some HTML and JavaScript. Learn it now, or learn it later, but you WILL learn it eventually. :-)<

I'm not averse to learning, and I'm beginning to recognise HTML structures. JavaScript doesn't look too friendly at the moment. Maybe it's because I haven't thrown myself into it yet.

BTW can you recommend anywhere where I can get more time to do all this - I'm desperately short of it! ;-)

Regards,
Alan
