Verizon *requires* that you install their MSN-based software on a Windows PC to set up your initial DSL username/passwor/"free email" to make the data go.
But after that initial modem config, it's just so much useless marketing rubbish. So I installed it on a Virtual PC image... then blew it away after account setup. So much cleaner. PacBell did the same shit. Qwest did the same shit. They're all idiots with big marketing departments and no software-development expertise.
