Can I upgrade to the latest version over the :>net? I have dial-up ISDN. :> If over that dial-up ISDN you can do PPP then yes. I tried it over a 28.8 modem and it hung somewhere but I did it at work over our net out on an ISDN line. It wasn't a dial up connection (it was dedicated) but it was fast enough and all. Be sure to do some backing up before you do it. Some stuff gets saved but other stuff you'll still have to do manually. -- Chris Larson larson@cs.utk.edu Lab Assistant-Backups Computer Science Dept.
