My browser does not appear to support it. I'm afraid you'll have to read the raw XML, but you should get it at least coloured in by git when you view that link in a browser. If you search in that page for 'gb' you get things like: <!-- Britain --> <country code="gb"> <provider> <name>airtel vodaphone</name> <gsm> <apn value="airtel-ci-gprs.com"/> </gsm> </provider> <provider> <name>BT Mobile</name> <gsm> <network-id mcc="234" mnc="00"/> <apn value="btmobile.bt.com"> <username>bt</username> <password>bt</password> </apn> </gsm> </provider> [lots more] So that tells you for BT Mobile the APN is "btmobile.bt.com", the username is "bt" and the password is "bt". It also has country code 234 and network code 00. Similarly the APN for Airtel Vodaphone (Channel Islands I think) is "airtel-ci-gprs.com" with no username or password necessary. (The purpose of this is it's the database for GNOME's Network Manager connection program, but I don't know of any site that displays the information in a nice format) Theo
