This is the document that has left me with questions.  It appears that 
they offer a LAN/WAN option where they put equipment on the customer's 
premise.  I read this to be the one to require the binary.  It *seems* 
that the other access option, the Internet option, does not require any 
installation.  I am going to call them and to try and access it from the 
school tomorrow with a laptop.

Thanks, Dan, for the insight and suggestion.  Maybe I'll discover something.
