XP and Microsoft update on a dialup machine - How ??

AL, good thing you have a sense of humor. You can go in
and reconfigure the autodownload to take MS updates. But,
beware for some reasons these won't work on all units for
a wide variety of reasons. Select each download
individually and set restore point before allowing to
load. Now watch the performance. If it significantly
degrades go back and do restore. Write down this number
as MS will want to install it again.
GOOD LUCK

The problem is that the two people I know that have dialup
are completely non-technical and are not disposed to handhold
updates as you describe.
