[ELECTRON] charges due to excess usage of Electron Club broadband

[Martin McGrath]

Simon,

Sorry to hear about these troubles. The router may log activity which could
be used to pinpoint the source of the traffic which could be used in
conjunction with the log at the desk to narrow down the cause of the problem
if required.

I finish up work for the holidays on Tuesday afternoon, I'll try and pop
along and check all of the machines making sure that they have the latest
patch level and are virus,bot and rootkit free to such extents as time
permits. I hope we won't get stung for a similar bill for December.

As Yasmin has already pointed out, I don't think covering the additional
charges will be a problem.

Cheers

Martin
