Why bother with the technician doing the installation?
Since they don't support Linux, might as well ask for the configurations,
and set it up using normal dhcp client. Anyway the nic Optus@Home is
supplying isn't compatible with Linux.
We've paid for the monthly fee, so Optus shut up!
There's no entry in the FAQ nor Terms & Conditions stating that installation
is part of the package, right?
