Thanks John.
Not really interested in 3G as still sounds over-the-top expensive to me 
compared to the 5GB including phone services from woosh, beating 3G 
hands down.  How do I search archives (dumb q I guess!)?  I suspect 
asking Woosh anything in regards to Linux will be a waste of time as 
their site seems to only think windows and OSX exist.
