[ale] unusual amount of 'net attacks from .fr ?

[Pilar Losada]

Hi Fellows,
I  have been using Wanadoo here in Spain for the last few.  They are a very
good ISP. You shouldn't have any problem whatsoever with them. If you
provide them the infomation and your concern, they will help you. At least
that has been my experience with them.

Kindest Regards,

Andy
