Doesn't BellAtlantic.net's analog ISP service handle Linux. I remember
hearing that about 6-7 months ago when the voicenet drama was being played
out. I was just wondering why they would handle Linux on the analog
service, but not the Digital one

Hello Tim. I can tell you who NOT to go with for a DSL connection, and that
would
be voicenet. You will be met with lies, broken promises, chronic headaches,
(and
that's even before you have the service installed at your residence.) And
then
when you start to get pissed because you're being charged month after month
and you
STILL do not have ANY service connection and you call week after week,
you'll
experience this unique phenomenon at voicenet called "The Sales Specialist
shuffle"
, sort of on the same lines as the chinese water torture technique but more
effective. I've given Bell Atlantic a call few times about there ADSL
service.
It's $50. a month and the performance is not that of a DSL, but the upside
it takes
3-10 days to setup and its included with phone bill! Downside they only
support
windoze boxes :-(
Hope this helps, Sorry I had to sugar coat my rantings about voicenet, it
would of
gotten out of hand otherwise :-)
