Thanks- sorry I didn't see that, I downloaded the brochure and read it
off-line, I thought that the Shadwell web info was just the same as the
brochure but in html format. I did though try to establish this on the
specific ELLX website but there is nothing there that I can see.

Exactly what I was thinking- some of us actually rely on the existing line
every day! That's the first time this has been mentioned as far as I know. I
may be wrong but have been keeping a keen eye on ELLX news and am on the
updates mailing list.
