You will have to install the software to register your computer with the new Cox.net service but their is nothing saying you can't uninstall it after you have registered! I have seen the Cox.Net cd and it includes a "healing agent" that can put your network settings back to right if they get trashed with just a couple of mouse clicks! The Cox.net CD does not contain a browser having learned the lesson from @home that an emasculated version of IE is worse than anything!!! The Cox.net CD will alter IE in on small detail. It will put the COX logo in the right hand corner where you see the IE logo now!! Microsoft has long allowed and encouraged companies to put their "branding" on the products!
