I thought registering did 4 things,

1) account migration and setup.
this can be done by phone call to CS too.

2) tatoos your browser with NTL's rubbish
(you can do without this)

3) disables dialup and modifies browser settings to use lan connection
you can subsequently modify this

4) installs USB drivers if connecting by USB

Someone correct me if this is wrong. I think if you get CS to activate/migrate the account or whatever then Hurg can simply do without the CD and continue using his existing modem.

When I moved from dialup to BB, CS activated my account that way after their damned CD left my HD in an unbootable state. When I reformatted the HD i simply did not use the CD, tho I do use an NTL Modem.
