That's BS. Might be repeating some other replies, but the setup is you
plug in power, phone, and ethernet, set your ethernet card for DHCP, point
your browser at 192.168.0.1, and set it up there. You'll need your
username/password, which they'll tell you over the phone.

It's more complicated if you want to run in bridged mode.

Also, you can get, or used to, just a gateway and routing, using
Qwest.net. They used to call it internet basic. When I got mine setup,
"internet basic" wasn't listed anywhere on their website, but if you can
figure out how to describe it in a way they understand, you can do it. I
have no qwest.net e-mail account. No web hosting, nothing but the
connection. Beats me if the IP is static, but it doesn't matter for my
use. Certainly, I don't have the trouble described by Scott.
