With all do respect to your position with Cox Technical Support, where did
you get this information? Anything that will need to be done (which isn't
much) can be done manually by the average user. Of course this assumes
knowledge of how to change your mail and news account info, as well as IP
addy, DNS and Gateway info.
Not very hard and take all of 5 minutes.
