Thanks to everyone for all the information. I am a total novice at this
and don't want to make a tremendous mistake.
I didn't want to call Comcast or Verizon before I had a clue as to
whether I could work with the connection accessibility-wise or not.
So if I were to go with Comcast the company would come out and put in a
cable connection for my computer with assumably a modom? Then if I
don't download or install any software, that would be it? I understand
from what people are saying that I will need to go to the web site and
do some setting up?
Is that all?
Thanks again,

John, this is a good point. I mistakenly installed a security package
made
by my service provider. While I didn't go through the rigmarole you
went
through, what I ended up doing was rolling my system back to a point
before
I did the install. Of course I lost some email messages doing this, but
...
When signing on with a given service provider, folks, you need to be
cautious, because anything else they offer may not be Jaws-friendly.
