How many would you like??  It is very photogenic!  But for starters, you 
could click on http://www.erros.co.uk/
and then on Boarstall.  I am going to create a web site for the tower, 
but sorting out PC's gets in the way.  By the way, my AS/400 is in the 
tower which survived an attack in 1645 during the British Civil war by 
1,200 soldiers with cannon, mortars, etc. (300 of them died!) and also a 
10 week  seige in 1646, so perhaps, symbolically at least, I have the 
most secure Internet server in the world???

There was a short article about it in the July ? 2003 edition of eServer 
or Iseries news in the American edition.

I have already downloaded a trial.

I did a total re-install (much muttering) of XP Pro and loaded Service 
Pack 1 and the Sophos AV before I connected to the Internet and I 
remembered to set the XP Pro firewall on for the connection beforehand, 
rather than  later on as yesterday, and, so far at least, I am getting 
there and have restored my emails into Netscape and this is one of the 
results.
