Hi again,

We're not supposed to install DES from FTP out here due to export
restrictions (I;m not sure of the exact details) but the remote system does
work if you dont use the auto option!  This is whats getting me!  I've just
read the handbook page again and I think a solution is beginning to sink
in!

Thanks
