I read many positive results from linux users using
verizon DSL with the westell 2200 DSL modem.

So I got the kit, but I've found out that the
install process seems to require you to use
Windows only software to get the username/passwd
to log into the network. Since I only have linux
I can't run that and without the password/username
I can't get on. How could I work around this?
Some people say you can call them and say
you are using a router and they will give you
a username password on the phone? I didn't get
that because I'd think they'd tell you to
plug into the modem directly from the pc, do
the setup then swap the cable back to the router
and the router to the modem.
Any ideas?
