I hardly ever use the comcast website for anything at all. You don't need
all this special software they want you to run, you just don't need it at all.
If anyone reading this is considering Comcast cable internet but you are
worried that it won't work with JAWS, i'll tell you from first hand
experience, it is fine. If the tech comes to your house and wants to
install the software, tell them not to, and to just set up your connection,
in techy terms they call it a dhcp connection. So if he does that and then
he registers your cable modem you should be just fine. You can then
continue using your computer as normal, the only difference is the internet
is about a million times more fun with broadband.
