I have had two Verizon setups to OSX sans-vz software. One was an ethernet network with an Ubuntu box and the ip masq features of rp-pppoe as the router. Just added the OSX IP to etc/hosts and it worked. The current setup is with a verizon supplied wireless router/modem. The OSX laptop detected the wireless signal. I entered the security key from the router into the login box and have been connected ever since. No extra software on the OSX laptop. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.
