OK, I'll step up to the plate as well and defend Bigpond Direct (part of
Telstra).

they always follow up on the original fault.

One complaint however is that at the moment all our traffic goes via

Hi all,
I have a question.
Many people complain about the lack of support from most ISP's regarding
linux.
now from the ISP's point of view linux would be expensive to support due
to the ratio of linux users to windows users.
So the question is, if an isp offered support for linux would you
Last Thursday a strange thing happened. My server which has been
running happily for about 2 years decided that it could not talk to
bigpond direct anymore, through its 56k dialup modem.
The symptom was that it would sometimes connect but after a few seconds

Telstra's techs monitored the router when I was connected but unable to

suggests a line problem or modem problem. But why would a new modem and

If you are after speed and can put up with a limited implementaion - mysql
is your answer.
Postgresql is a very complete implementation - the cost is speed.
you only need two (or is it three now?) disks, for kernel, root
filesystem and kernel drivers (modules). assuming you have "normal"

A friend recently joined them, and he managed to get it working. I told him
