lol, i wanted to be able to set only one connection up (ntl dialup - so it'll be free.) But if hes on too much I could cut him off. He needs his computer for work which he says he does do to the folks but as soon as they're gone, hes slacks off again. If I can stop him from creating another connection, and cut the phoneline off, he will still be able to use his computer, but not connect to another phoneline using a local rate ISP.

Its all v confusing.

If I take leads away or cut them he can always go out and get replacements. Luckily hes not that tech savvy so if I can find a way to disable his ability to make another connection, he may think a reformat is the only way to fix it. With his GCSEs coming up, I don't think he will.

...phew lol.
