Hi. I don't know what it is like in your area, but here in Huntsville,
AL there aren't any isps who will support Linux. Most of the time, this
isn't a problem. you can search on google for information from
other Linux users who have found solutions to using the isp.
In my case, I currently use Comcast. There cable modems use DHCP and
require your DHCP client to send a specific host identifier. This isn't
a problem. Also, there web sight requires using inter net explorer. Because I don't use
Windows, I can't use there web sight, but I have no other problems with
connecting to the inter net or using email.
