Sometimes the "line is busy" error is windows messing up - try restarting the computer (if it's a usb device).


r00i, very slow here in fourways/broadacre, there's alot of digging going on in the area, could that be causing issues?

With so little days left, I am not really bothered. I just want to have some sort of internet access in the last couple of days.
