JG> Ummm, funny you should ask that :-)

Sorry, I fail to see the humour in that question.  |-)

No, the path info won't hurt at all.  In fact, I've sent stuff to Chris R
the same way, and he received it just fine.

Might have been easier if Netcomm had fixed their brain-dead modems so
they'd work with Paul's Binkley instead though.

Good to hear, as I couldn't imagine how it could have been.

What can I say?  If it works now, just burn a chook and be thankful.

Still courting disaster, I see.  |-)

JG> I'm not changing it either.

This is the binkley.cfg I used with Paul's hack to great effect...

BTW, ignore the commented lines, they're either specifically for my USR, or
other info for EMSI connects, which Paul's hack doesn't support.
