You can still get around installing software. I just got DSL 2 weeks ago (4 day turnaround from signing up on web site to going live, not bad if you ask me). I have a SMC Barricade Wireless Hub/router/NAT. I called Verizon's 800 number (5 minute wait) and said 'I see you support Hubs/NAT, what do I use for my username/password? The guy walked me through it giving me a temporary username/password to get connected, then I went to their web interface and gave myself a real username/password and reset the SMC to use that, rebooted and everything worked! Oh, and make sure that you plug your DSL filters into the WALL and not into the telephones! It makes a big difference! > Footnote > -------- > [1] Credit to Linus Torvalds.
