[ILUG] Eircom + Firewall

[Eireann Design (Gianni Ponzi)]

Thanks Niall, Tom etc.

With regards to the Eircom issue, I appreciate the sentiment. You should try
the telecom company from where I come from.
Let me put t this way..it's the only one.............

Of course as luck would have it ,I am moving soon and wouldn't you know

thanks again
