Hall appears to be correct, but I did not have an easy time finding it.
Ric, check out: http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/952
and you will find instructions for setting up your new SBC Yahoo account
with username and password. I have not attempted to follow these
instructions because I have my account set up already, but I do wish I
had been aware of them, as Hall points out, because it might have saved
some time.
Here's the information I found in the "Ameritech" forum
(http://www.dslreports.com/faq/1342):

Q: How do I get a username and password for my new account? (Update
12-03-02) (#1342)
A: Use the CD provided in your installation kit and see SBC Support for
more information.
Or, do it manually using the following as the PPPoE login:
Username: sbcyahooreg@sbcglobal.net
Password: sbcyahooreg
Go to the following URL to complete registration:
https://sbcreg.sbcglobal.net/
If you are an existing customer, that is NOT the address you should use to
migrate. See this FAQ for instructions on how to migrate.

NOTE: The following information is for reference only. All new account
registrations must be done through the SBC-YAHOO! interface described above.

As of 9/4/01, the dslreguser@ameritech.net (password:reguser) temporary
login account should take you directly to the registration page where you
can set up your account for the first time. It may take a day or so after
you first get sync for the systems to update and your registration to
succeed. You can go to registration directly at
https://registration.ameritech.net/autoreg/servlet/Autoreg. As of 7/15/02
the online registration is very shaky and is offline a lot, so if at first
you don't succeed...
Old registration site was
http://registration.ameritech.net/cgi-bin/iaf/dslmilan
