Plain and simple, how do you obtain and install a module for UPS shipping?

it under the add-on

Okay; I figured out the hard way -- found the add-ons, found the UPS Choice for 2.2 -- I'm using 2.3.1. In any case I uploaded the PHP file to my site. Installed it, and it's there but I cannot edit it.

Please tell me, what am I doing wrong? Is this incompatible with 2.3.1? If so, what IS compatible? My main supplier ships everything UPS; I can't believe I picked an e-commerce package that can't recognize UPS!

You need to use the UPS XML module. The others use an obsolete interface that is no longer supported.

Point taken, but there's another twist: I want to ship UPS domestic, and USPS for international. Playing around, I see that I can set Zone Rate using some set amounts, with zone 1 being USA. I'm assuming I can use two modules -- Zone and USPS, and US orders will use the zone rates, while international will use USPS? Am I on the right track? If I install the UPS module, is there a way to set it for domestic only, or does the customer choose? The reason I'm trying to figure this out is that I drop ship -- and my supplier uses UPS for all domestic and USPS for international.

You can set a shipping zone for UPS as well. Either will work, but using the UPS module will give you more accurate shipping quotes.
