I believe this is because the shell wants to interpret an expression
in parenthesis.
You have downloaded this file which windows, right?
1. get a new and bugfree version of xisp from ftp://134.95.210.54/pub
2. install it with dpkg -i . If you have problems with the filename,
try dpkg -i xisp*.deb
Ciao,
