I believe you can, but it will take 'forever' on a dial-up. Several hundred megabytes at least. You're much better off to get the CD-ROMs by mail order (search in Google for a supplier). The first two of the seven CDs contain *almost* all the programs you're likely to want for a typical installation (and you can fill in any extras by dial-up). cr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
