Again, there is no software required for an internet connection.
The activation cd can install some shortcuts, but those can be manually added and are not necessary.
It can configure your pop3 client if you prefer using a client to Verizon's webmail, but this can also be done manually.
It can walk you through getting a "portal partner" (Yahoo or AOL), but this is optional, and the partnering can be done elsewhere as well, usually from the My Account page.
It can help you in initially setting up your username and password. This can also be done via the My Account page.
It can configure your modem/router settings, this can also be done manually by accessing the modem/router's GUI.
All the activation cd and site do is string all of the processes together.
