Yes, that's correct.

More or less but there's no need for the DOS packet drivers and in most  
cases there's no need to run E-SETUP either, which makes it much easier to  
install and configure. Most, if not all of the configuration is done  
within XP and it's in English ;-)

Sorry but I don't know so I've passed your enquiry on to the German  
support newsgroup. Let's see what they come up with :)

Martin
