I bought a used copy that came with one book: _Four Wheel Drift_.  Is
the other book essential?

AFAIR the manual just concerns installation, how to run the game, technical
stuff, troubleshooting etc. I may be wrong.

Not really.  You got the one that matters.

I'd try a few free ISPs if I were you. Haven't used BTClick myself.

Don't hold your breath. I've started to contemplated ISDN even though I
think it's wildly overpriced ie by now it should be the standard. I resent
BT wringing every penny they can out of the market... and I resent the
fact that I'm cracking even more :-)

:>Generally if WinVROC reports pings less than 300 I can be fairly sure of a

: This is the thing. A ping of sub 300 is practically unheard of for me.
: Sometimes I'm lucky to get 350. I know this is what's causing the

  I had this problem using a USB external modem from ModularTech which
was cheap but added about 100-150 onto ping times and made on-line
*** impossible.  Had to change modems.
