Anyway, I made another one connecting to MCCMikey's service (thanks MCCMikey - very generous) and it works perfectly.
As you say, no need to turn off the ADSL modem, the browser just selects the dialup connection.
So there must have been some corruption or something with my earlier dialup seup - the rebooting thing was pretty odd. I'll delete it and re-do it.
Thanks again, Dave
