AT&T sounds like Illinois. The process is similar to Qwest in Iowa. You
should not (under any circumstances) let them think you want anything to do
with MSN!!! They are very persistent about this. If you use gmail (or
similar), you won't need anything from them except access. If you plan to
use Internet Revealed or Internet Express (either is a "better" ISP than
Qwest), talk to them before you talk to Qwest. Qwest can "point" you
directly at either (last I knew). Service is better and they both understand
Linux. Also, make sure you tell them you can do your own setup just as Jim
did.


The above should be considered opinion. Your milage may vary.

Jim
