What does that mean exactly... What "service" to they provide?  I have
Verizon DSL and, they give me an IP address and that's it.  No logging in,
no "Start" pages, etc.  There's nothing computer specific there at all.  In
fact I have a router connected to the DSL, so there's not even a "platform"
connected at all - just a router box.  It doesn't matter that I have a
Mac/PC/Linux or whatever behind that router.  How do they even know what
type of machine you have?  How could it even matter?

That has always confused me with Excite@home, etc. - what exactly to they
DO?
