Dsl question
In order to first activate a DSL account you have to run the software supplied, pick a username and password and your DSL line becomes active.
After that can I plug the dsl modem into any other computer or laptop and hop on the net?
I'm not talking about a router or anything, just plugging the ethernet cable right into the back of a new or other computer.

Yup, if the cable is connected to your modem, then you should be able to use any PC or laptop. Just configure it to get it's IP address via DHCP.
BTW, congrats on the DSL.....finally, ya cheapskate

It gets activated this coming Wednesday! 
What's DHCP?
I cant just plug in the cable open Firefox and get ready to go?
I have windows 98 by the way.
I'm getting a new computer in a months time!

DHCP makes it "automatic" to get on the net. You just plug in the cable and it should configure itself to start working.
There are some basic instructions here: http://helpdesk.fsu.edu/internet/ethernet/win98dhcp.cfm
You should also get some "quick start" sort of guide with your modem, that should give you specific instructions for your modem. Its typically straightforward.
