>One problem you will find is that many service providers will only
support the connection software package that they distribute to new
accounts. This is (typically) for Microsoft Windows :-( - and many service
provider help desks seem to know nothing about Unix (or Linux). So, be
prepared for limited assistance from them!</P

>You could of course do the individual a favour and educate then about
Linux (any ISP help desk person should be reasonably 'with it' in
Internet terms and that means they should have a home Linux box - of
course it does)!</P
