They should supply you with a text or otherwise accessible format pretty
quickly if you point out to their webmaster the Disability Discrimination
Act.


Well you can of course obtain copies of the approved documents in paper
form from HMSO, but the thing is that they cost loads of money. If I dial
in after 6, even 12M is effectively "free" unless I choose to print it out
:-)

It just means no-one can ring in for the 30 minutes (or so) it takes to
download at 33k6.

Hwyl!
