(From this side of the Atlantic, I didn't know that MediaOne was also an internet provider). What I was talking about is that Canal + provided (recently as I understand it) the devices to control operation of the cable. Which ones exactly I don't know, but if T. Lelegard is listening, he could tell. Canal + technologies sells devices to operate cable and satellite television, pay-per-view, and things like that. -- --------------------------------------------------------- J-P.
