In most cases , you don't have to install the software. I take it you're now on dialup but are thinking of moving to broadband. If you do, don't overdo it. Just install the hardware -- modem -- plug in, and see what happens. It should work without further ado. You don't have to do any entering of numbers, etc. as long as your ISP has setup your account properly.
