all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch™ to boot correctly

The dl directory contains the software image.
In Windows XP for instance:
1On the Windows task bar, click Start.
2Select (All) Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
If you made changes to the SpeedTouch™ configuration and saved
them, a user.ini service template file is created in the dl subdirectory.
