They give you the CD to make life a bit easier for you but you will usually find that you can manage without it.
AFAIK it contains things like browser upgrades and drivers but Windows can usually sort those things out for you.

As for the modem, the make and model is written on the box that it comes with. Mine is an NTL Home 200 but the instructions for activating your account that are at the link that I gave you should work with any type of Stand Alone Cable Modem (SACM) so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

I found it useful to save the web pages detailing the setup instructions to my desktop before I started, that way I wasn't relying on having internet access to be able to access them - you can always delete them when you are finished. As you have dial-up access anyway if there are any problems you should still be able to get here using yor existing connection (or by borrowing a friend's) if anything goes wrong.
