The web page simply downloads a .vcf file, which is a standard data format
for contact data. Apple Address Book and Entourage can both handle these
formats, you just need to tell the system to use Entourage by default.

Call up a contact, and right-click on the 'add to outlook' link and select
'download linked file as...' (wording is for Safari, IE/other browsers will
have a similar function). Save the file to the hard disk.

Now, select the saved file in the finder, Control-Click on it and select
�Show Info� from the contextual menu. In the window that appears, click on
"General Information" and choose "Open with application" from the pop-up
list. Click on the down arrow in the icon box and select the application you
want from the list that appears or select the "Other..." command. Click the
�Change All� button which is now active.
