Still down - it would be when I've travelled some way to set up
someone's laptop - and they're using Tiscali.

Their personal web site server seems to also be down, or at least mine
isn't responding.

They often used to flick the switch to get people to call them. It provides
a brilliant income. I would advise you to leave Tiscali as they charge far
more than other ISPs and give much less to customers.

You don't need to set up any computer by using the Tiscali CD.
It configures the entire computer, so you wasted your time or
completely misled someone.
