Another thing to think about, it may be better from a jaws standpoint to use
them as your dsl provider but use someone else as your isp.  If your current isp
also offers dsl service, tipically you won't have to change anything.  So once
you setup the modem with username password and the appropriate dsl setings,  All
of your current settings for email and such will still work.  I've heard that
msn for example doesn't support outlook so using their explorer and website for
everything may present some accessibility issues as well as introduce a learning
curve that you may not want to deal with.  I know here qwest provides on their
webpage a list of isps which use qwest's dsl service.  You may look on Verizon's
website for a similar piece of information.
