FYI: Verizon only blocks ports 80, 25 and a few other "popular" services. I
use AProxy (do a freshmeat search for it) and I put SSH and HTTP on 80XX so
they work perfectly.
Even though Verizon is a bunch of F*ckNozzles they are far less evil than
comcast. I have had DSL since November and not had any problems.... ( /me
knocks on wood)
I would recomend them for Linux use. The only catch is you have to set it up
the first time on either windows or macos. After that you can use pppoe with
no problems.
Hope this helps
