They may not have the expertise to write Linux drivers. Or (more likely)
they feel that 9 out of 10 of their prospective customers use Windows/Mac,
and so they concentrate their efforts on those OSes. "Majority wins"
thinking. Doubt that it's the deliberate effort to force customers off
Linux, as you suggest.

THAT'S the truth. Lucky for me, my DSL "modem" just uses a standard Ethernet
port.

I'd agree. a 2nd hand Pentium 75 level machine should be more than enough
for LRP, and should be relatively inexpensive enough. I have a Pentium 100,
and most of the time, it might as well be asleep - using my 640K DSL line
doesn't tax it at all, really.
