I had used earthlink for a few years. When I set up my first linux box...mandrake 6 I think, I called up for support, they had no clue. About three years ago I moved over to RedHat and had no issues what so ever. I have since moved to Charter Cable here in Oregon. When I came home they had already set up the modem, to my horror, on my girlfriends winbox with their software as the main comp. They gave us the username and password right there.
I asked about linux support, they said I might be able to talk to someone who knew about linux, but it was not covered by tech support. As soon as they left, I ripped the set up appart, set my mandrake 10 box up as king of the network and it was flawless. It saw the connection and assigned what was needed.
On a strange note, my girlfriends computer could not get a connection through the network to the outside, I beat my head against a wall until it dawned on me; it was the charter software. My neighbor was having the same prob. I just uninstalled their garbage and all was well. As for tech support, I have never had to call. DSL finds the connection just fine as well. simon
