I believe the off-line address book (OAB) creates an address book only for the site on which it lives so if you want to have access to the full GAL, you'll have to set up replication of the OAB public folder from one site to the other.

To do so, highlight Public Information Store, click on File-Properties to bring up the properties page, click the Instances tab and add the OAB from the other site (you'll have to do this on both servers).

Once they have had time to replicate, you should have all the information for both sites available off-line. But because you're on ISDN dialup, be very careful about replication intervals so you don't end up with "always-on" sessions.

it ended up being the remote site had been set to only generate the local address list as the GAL, once changed and re-generated all is ok
