I've installed it several places. It's standard PPPoE. The hard part is 
getting the username/password out of them. I never found a way except to 
install that HORRID Yahoo software on a disposable Win box just so I 
could get into their server and get a username/password assigned. Then 
chunk the Win box and plug the info into a router or whatever.

If there is a way to get them to assign the username/password without 
logging in with all that awful Yahoo software, I'd like to learn about.
