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 training lags the reality just a shade! This is a much better way!!! Will 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!
