i dont have experience using an isdn cards but you could go to the site and download the packages to another machine, burn em to cd and install them with dpkg. id just run a dpkg -i *.deb . it is a lot of packages though grabbing them with a browser would be a pain, but it may be faster then researching getting isdn working to do it, just make sure if the machine is a non unix machine that it doesn't mangle the filenames, if it does, rename them manually otherwise you may have trouble installing. wonko >Many thanks, Nate, I guess this will help me a lot.
