ago I just set up a PPPoE connection and didn't have to install it.
Now, though, when my sister decided to install it and I helped her get
going, I noticed that they have some code in their (proprietary) modem
that only gets activated when you install the software. So now, you
are over a barrel with SBC!

I am using an SBC modem on a Sprint/Earthlink DSL line with no problems at
all. I didn't have to install any of the software that you mention and am
having excellent service from the modem.
I went looking for other modems when the one that Spint currently supports
DOESN'T support X-Box live. My son subscribed but couldn't get out of the
house. After many calls to the modem company and Sprint and Earthlink we
determined that it was the modem. The modem manufacturer then admitted that
they are working on the problem. |
