   I have.  They are not actively hostile to Linux, but they are no help either.  My problem was that I used xisp to connect throught the phones, and it stopped working.  Switching from a straight login to CHAP fixed everything, but I had to figure that out on my own. 

   Obviously, they reconfigured something, but they either did not know this or would not admit it.  

   A year or two ago, I had another interesting chat over the phone with them.  

   "Why can't I connected to the internet?"

   "You have a comma in your password."

   "How the $%^$!! do you know that?"

   I think they have some system of letting you login to *NIX and to Windows servers using the same account and password.
