Re: Getting Verizon DSL; question please

Thank you. I take it you can just use the network wiz and follow the PPoE
path?

All you need is a username and password for a DSL connection. Rarely do
you
need an ISP's software to conenct to a DSL account.

I'm getting Verizon DSL this week and I have a question. I'm getting
ambiguous answers from Verizon on whether or not I can install and get
my DSL connection running using the in house XP network installer as
opposed to using their software CD. One tech says yes. One says no.
Can someone answer this for me please, and/or point me to a link that
will give me step by step instructions to make a manual installation
in XP. I have a feeling that when it comes time to do the installation
and I'm on the phone with Verizon, I might find that having this
information in my hand will be useful :-)
Many thanks
Dudley
