trying to use Verizon DSL with linux

I read many positive results from linux users using verizon DSL with the westell 2200 DSL modem.

So I got the kit, but I've found out that the install process seems to require you to use Windows only software to get the username/passwd to log into the network. I had been assuming to that point that the software was for the MSN extras stuff that I wasn't going to use anyway.

Since I only have linux I can't run that and without the password/username I can't get on. How could I work around this? Some people say you can call them and say you are using a router and they will give you a username password on the phone? I didn't get that because I'd think they'd tell you to plug into the modem directly from the pc, do the setup then swap the cable back to the router and the router to the modem. Any ideas? Mark
