Gemsoft.net was
established in 1997 and was part of the successful business Gemsoft - The
PC Centre. From July 1st 2001 we split from the PC shop and are
now the dedicated internet service provider Avensys Networks Ltd.
We are an independent
company and are dedicated to giving the best service we can while still
keeping costs acceptably low.
Dial-Up Customers
To actually get
access to the Internet, your email and your own website, you need a dial-up
connection. Via a standard phone-line, your PC connects to our server,
which is connected to the Internet. You then have full unlimited access to
the World-Wide Web, access to over 34,000 spam-filtered newsgroups, and you
can send and receive email.
Leased Lines
A Leased line is a
permanent connection to the Internet via a fixed leased line. It is
operational 24 hours per day. There is a fixed rental for the service with
no connection time charges.

Internet
The Internet is a
loose organization of thousands of computers all over the world that can
communicate with one another to exchange messages and share information.
The Internet offers roughly 20 million people—from nearly every country and
from many different walks of life—a way to correspond with one another, do
research, learn stuff, and fool around. Physicians use it to heal,
journalists use it to report, but most people use it to do everyday things.
The computers that
constitute the Internet come in just about every size, shape, and type in
use. They're spread all over the world—in every continent. According to the
Internet Society, a volunteer organization, the number of computers on the
Internet is almost doubling every year. A million new computers got hooked
into the Internet in the first half of this year alone!
