Hrm...

When I asked Bell Atlantic about ADSL being offered in my area, they asked
me which Operating System I used.  I told them I used Linux.  They said
they wouldn't install it for me even WHEN it became available in my area
unless I was running Windows or a newer MacOS.  This phone call took place
back in December.  

I called them again in April.  This time I was sure to tell them that I
don't care about tech support and that my boyfriend and I could handle the
setup of our computer.  They still said that they couldn't do their part
of the installation unless I was using Windows or a newer MacOS.
