True. Linux will work with vitually any ISP. To me, what makes an ISP Linux-friendly is tech support that doesn't cut you off with "we don't support Linux" and who listen when you describe the diagnostics you've run and who don't automatically tell you to reinstall or update your software and who are willing to admit it when there is a problem on there end ...etc, etc. -- Bob Holtzman "If you think you're getting free lunch, ......check the price of the beer!"
