*admires her shiny new modem*

Lookit!! I got broadband!!

After an hour and a half on the phone to the tech support, that is - my computer was playing silly b****rs again. It managed to keep installing the software for the modem over and over again - at one point there was four copies of the blasted thing. And then it said the driver couldn't be found on the installation disk - but it was there.

Anyway, I feel quite sorry for the poor tech support guy. I'm going to try and get an ethernet card for my new computer, I think...
