You have to lie to Qwest to get the first level DSL tech support
people to talk to you.

"Oh, yes, I'm running XP "Home Edition", and I have a single, crossover
ethernet cable hooked between my Pee Cee and the DSL modem."

My Qwest DSL tech tip: call after 5pm Pacific time for DSL troubles.
You'll likely get a real tech, and not a flowchart-reading call center
moron.
