Do I Need To Load Qwest's Software? (#13628)
Do I need to load the software that Qwest's provides with a new installation in order to use my DSL connection?

No. The Qwest software is not needed to access the internet, it is provided as an aid for trouble shooting problems should they arise (and last report was that it only ran under Windows, so you would not be able to load it if you are using a different operating system).
