I know we're back in the Stone Age here, but I have recklessly agreed to help a relative change from Tiscali pay-as-you-go Dialup to Wanadoo on a Win 98 PC.

I'm loathe to stick the Wanadoo installation disk in her PC on the grounds that I want to keep as much control of the process as possible (my bitter experience with ntl's broadband installation disk has convinced me never to put your PC under any ISP's complete control if you have a choice).

So, what I would like to do is register from the Wanadoo site. Obviously, I need to keep the Tiscali connection going in order to do this. What will happen after I entered the registration details for Wanadoo. If I go to the MS Dialup Networking wizard will I find both Tiscali and Wanadoo there and simply change the default ISP, or will there be some sort of horrible clash?
