I use Earthlink with BOTH Windows and Linux. If you can setup the dialer
(which is not too difficult) then you you should be able to do so too. They
do cost $21.95 per month but you can use them for as long as you like. I
use them for about 600 hours a month (I'm a Dial-Up Usenet leecher, love dem
MP3's) and Earthlink does have their own NEWS Servers too. Hope this helps.
