I haven't activated the internetvpn service yet. I'll send the activation forms to Vodacom tomorrow and will then switch over to internetvpn.

Will let you guys know tomorrow after work if the problem still persists.

Good night.

You don't need that. just phone 155 give them your sim cell number & they do it. Thay say it take 6 hours which is possible. I was running within 10 minutes.

155 is busy at the moment so allow for call back if you dont want to wait.
After 155 answers select 3 1 2.

Phone 155 and do it now. Just be patient and maybe allow for dialback.

Is there a way you can monitor what the load is on the system how many users active. Would be kind of nice to know.

@Csnoopy, when you hover your mouse over the red envelope next to the thread name in the list of threads, a little info box shows you how many posts you have in that thread. I'm using Opera, not sure if the other browsers show this.
