What do you mean by "numbers"?  I don't think the stand-alone Info
reader was ever numbering menu items, if that's what you mean.

As for losing the underlining, I think this will do it:

  M-x set-variable RET link-style nounderline RET

You can make this the default by editing your .infokey file, as
described in the "Custom Key Bindings" node of the manual.
