With a modem connect, he'd be far better off with a re-spin DVD. If he
can't afford one, there are ways to get a free one. Check ondisk.com or
one of the others. I bought my DVD, including shipping within the US for
about $6-7 US dollars. The CD would just lead to tears, with a modem
connection, as we see here. :) Ric
