Judy:
In response to the points you raised:
1) There has been a lot of interest by users who already have PCs so on
review Alunite will offer these users a Kshs. 4,500 + VAT monthly rate.
One year contract is for all subscribers to the Alunite service.
2) One PC
3) This one is subjective so I will just say that until and unless
TEAMS/ESSAy/FlAG and the latest one I forget the name are a reality this
is the best we can do.
4) The speed is 256k
Regards
Lucy
