Can you imaging ordering your GPO "internet" facility, and having to

can't have it near the computer, you will need to move that to the hall!


And not being able to even connect any modern technology* to the phone
line without themselves approving it first. Anyone want to buy an
up-to-date 14.4k modem? We will get around to approving 28.8k modems
some time in the next few years.?
