Thanks for the link.  I believe you are right about being able to register your
computer on line!!!  A much better alternative for those who know how to handle
it!
I was afraid Cox was not going to offer a less obtrusive way.  As usual the

allow all those users who know how to do something besides point and click to
get on with their connections!
Thanks for the heads up!
