Hey Scott,

Actually, I have it too. It was pretty cheap and although I was a bit
skeptical, I went ahead.

With my Verizon DSL I got a little dsl modem / wireless router. I
imagine this is the same with you.
If it is, the setup is easy. All I'm doing is doing a dhcp request.
I've had this working under a Gentoo distro, some live CDs and
currectly debian. I forgot which of the dhcpclients I used under
gentoo, but it was literally as simple as
% dhclient eth0 (or whatever interface you're using)
On the more specific side, I'm 98% sure the modem/router is using
pppoe to connect to verizon.
HTH.
