Can anyone out there help with details on how to get our system to link into the internet. I am a complete newcomer to the networking field although I have been using BBS systems for mail and shareware for some time. What I need to know is how to configure my Unix (MIPS system running RiscOS4) or PCs and details of phone numbers of network hubs or service providers (need to be cheap). I am looking for the simplest and cheapest of routes onto the net. Best Regards, Ges Cook
