Yup.  I reckon I'll download it here at the office tomorrow
where I still have broadband access and give it a whirl.

I just didn't want to waste a lot of time trying if there
were some known issues.  I did a google and found nothing
regarding vmware 4 and debian.  I've found it very
frustrating to try and trouble shoot via a 28.8
connection...I'm quite spoiled.
