[PLUG] OT: Setting up Verizon DSL WITHOUT their software...

[Guillermo Moyna <g.moyna@usip.edu>]

Hodwy All,

I decided to put my modem connection out to pasture and signed up  
with Verizon for their cheap $15 DSL service. Since I have Mac OSX I  
am foreseeing that trying to get my PPPoE account with their icky  
software will be impossible. Even if it is possible, I don't want to  
use it. All I need is to get a username/password to use with my  
Airport PPPoE setup.

Is their an alternative way of doing this that does not involve  
calling them? I googled it and found that there is a web-site that  
could be used to do this (https://dslreg.verizon.net). However, all  
the postings about it where pretty old, and Verizon does not have any  
mention of this site on their documentation. Anyone knows if this  
will work?

TIA,

Guillermo
