Jim got it. I think logistic regression is the way to go here. It is very
similar to normal regression except that it uses a dichotomous dependent
variable. I have some references at the office about logistic regression if
you want them...
Discriminant Function Analysis would also work, but the assumptions are a
bit more strict. In part it depends on how willing you are to make certain
assumptions about your predictor variables.
