I was considering a Verizon DSL account until the Verizon rep told
me I need OS X. I recall a thread sometime ago about using DSL w/o
using all the Verizon software. Could anyone point me in the right
direction in the archives to that info, or does anyone have
experience using Verizon DSL on a power mac (not upgraded to G3 or
G4)? I have a Performa 6400/180, and am running OS 8.1
Thanks,

I have had Verizon DSL for a couple of years now. I don't think I
installed any of their software. I have a 4 port router and a 8 port
switch hooked up to my network and I have set up every thing from my
G4 to my wife's PC to a Powermac 7600, even a Powerbook 520 (with the
ethernet adapter) to my network with no problems. I haven't messed
with OS 9 in a while, but I believe all you need to do is select your
ethernet port as the port for TCP/IP and set up your internet
connection to connect via DHCP. Like I said it has been a while, so
I might be wrong. I am pretty sure you don't need any software though.
Thanks,
Kevin
