Exactly! The fact that it is linux has nothing to do with it. They are
still responsible to give you the information. With my cable provider I
have to get the information to set up windows as well, and they are very
willing to give you the info. They do not support linux but still give you
the info and it is up to you to get it working.
How can Windows set it up automatically?? Sure it can recognize the IP
assigned if your ISP uses Dynamic IP addressing, but how do you configure
DNS and your email servers??
