For @home, they give you a custom browser (WHOOP-DE-DOO!!) and a cute
lil' turnkey visual basic or .bat file to configure your TCP for you.
If you know what you are doing you can certainly do without the above,
as you describe below.

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?
