I have been trying to get DSL, and they all want to send a kit (assuring me
since I am not a technical person at all) that it's very easy to install by
yourself. Has anyone here done that, and is it easy? I mean, really
easy...like any moron could do it easy? :-)

In most cases it really is that easy. The best bet is to get their
supported home router option, often with WiFi, so that 1. the ISP will
directly provide support, and 2. the only connections are power and the
phone line.

I was going to answer, but since I did it three years ago and don't
remember anything about it, I did not want to be the first. I am
thinking that since I don't remember much about it, it couldn't have
been that hard. I tend to hold grudges and would still be po'ed at the
phone company if there were any problems.

Pretty easy to do. You have to install filters on all the phones. They just
plug into the wall outlet and then plug the phone into the filter.
Be sure not to plug the modem into a filter. There is a special filter for
wall phones that hangs on the wall bracket and then hang the phone on that
filter.
Don't forget answering machines (if they are separate from the phone) and
fax machines.
If you have a phone that has one or more remote units, only the main unit
that has its own phone line needs a filter . The remote units do not need a
filter.
If you have a monitored alarm system, call the company and tell them to come
out and install a filter on their system.
The hookups to the modem and computer etc is straight forward. Cables are
different colors and the directions with the kit will tell you which cable
goes where.
