how to get patches/updates/service packs

I was wondering if anyone knows how I can get
service packs for XP (and other OSs) without
doing it on-line. I unfortunately am bandwidth
handicapped (56K at best), and time limit
controlled and have been unable to acquire
the massive patches over this connection. Is
there a way to get a CD, for example?
thanks for any help in advance,
me

I belive if you call microsoft they can mail you out a cd with all current updates. I am not sure how much it will cost. unfortuatly I also dont know the number but you might be able to email them to get the numbe

Chris;
Make your own choice.
It used to be available everywhere, but can you find it now?
Do you want it?
It's your $!
