As soon as I suspected there was a signal there, before being advised by Telstra/Internode, I plugged in the telephone cable and instantly had access by PPPoA to Internode and beyond.

And in answer to your question - it can't be that easy, can it ? I know what you mean, we expect problems when setting something new up on computers (no matter which OS) and when something simply works first time, we worry that we've missed something. The "joy" of fixing the problem. Actually sometimes, things do work as designed !!
