The PC is recent, and running XP Home which should mean minimal usb hassles.
Apparently he's been given an installation CD - is any of the software on there obligatory? Is any of it known to mess with existing configurations (e.g. email accounts, internet prefs and such)? I've developed a healthy mistrust of overblown, supposedly helpful all-in-one installation packages!

It is completely possible to bypass all of the stuff on the CD but you will still need to "register" the modem on the network by going to the registration site.
I don't have the full addy handy but I'm sure someone will oblidge if not I will go check and post it back in a few OK. (The address should be in the booklet that was sent though)
EDIT: Ahhh I see Ian has already posted the link to the site with all the detailed info on doing a manual setup so many thanks Ian.
