No followups recorded.

Anthony,

I've no intention to respond publically over the ozisp mailer
to this query.

If you are seeking Telstra Internet's advice on this
as a client of Telstra Internet then you'll need to email me
directly with your query as it relates to our services.

thanks,

    Geoff Huston
