Janina, Thanks for the tips. So far speakeasy.net looks like the leading isp I'll end up going with. I spoke to a rep and he didn't frown upon me mentioning Linux. Only thing I was not too pleased with is the prices. $49.95/mo for dynamic IP plus $10.00/mo more for a static bridged ip. Also, the installation if done via the self-install kit is $99.00 after rebate which means I must pay $249.99 at front. The downloads speads I'm elligable for are 608 kbps down and 128 kbps up. Again, not what I'm hoping ofor at that price... If nothing else presents itself I'll go with them if not for the pirce at least for their rep.
