Good luck. But be aware of one thing with Netvision - they claim supporting CONNECTION with Linux BUT NO FURTHER. Once you are connected, it's your own problem if you are not able to browse, or to get e-mails. Once, upon experiencing some problems with getting e-mais ( authentication problem or something like that ), I called their support. Of course, the very first answer I've got from their support monkey was the usual "no support for Linux". I rebooted to Windows, and of course, the problem was there. The guy claimed that he had had no problem to connect to my e-mail account from his own workstation, so I asked him whether he knew of some problem with their mail server regarding cable users. He insisted that their mail server was all right and that the problem was at mine. All that was left for me, was to ask him to transfer the call to a Linux guy. Fortunately, there was a Linux guy in this shift. As soon as I started to describe the problem to him, he immediately told me that there indeed had been some problem with their mail server, and that they had been taking care of it. --
