computers without using all my bandwith who's limited to 2MB/s.

Hi Fabian,

Office 97 used the AcmeSetup rather than
MS Windows Installer (MSI) so you're not
likely to get support for autoupdating in
that regard. No new updates have been released
for Office 97 for some time (nor will there be).

There is some support in the pre-release of
the WSUS for Office updating
http://microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/default.mspx
if you're not using an Office Adminpoint as the source of
installation/updating.

You may also want to check with the folks in the
desktop deployment group (link below).
