I have 2 other "proper modems" as you put it, just not currently in machines that I
have up and running, including my gateway. Still I can always go and buy another if
you feel that would help.

If you find:

Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Offensive - I can only conclude that you spend a lot of your time being offended.

Personally I applaud Peter for taking the responsibility to screen his posts to this

Why is this off topic? Because it a virus checker that runs on Windows? Who's to say
