The only thing needed absolutely needed for WinPoet is the NDISWAN protocols (actually not true protocols, but shims between TCP/IP and the Ethernet interface), but the only way to get NDISWAN to load is to install VPN support in Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs --> Windows Setup. Once Winpoet has been installed, you can go back into Network Properties and delete Dial-up Adapter #2 (VPN Support) and NDISWAN->Microsoft Virtual Private Networking Adapter. (You need to retain iVasion Poet Adapter and NDISWAN->iVasion Poet Adapter). Do not uncheck VPN Support in Add/Remove Programs -> Windows Setup, as that will also remove the NDISWAN shims. Also, when the account setup program runs, it doesn't make a secure VPN connection, just a regular DSL connection to a secure server that's on an internal Verizon network, segregated from the rest of the 'net.
