OK, I thought you were implying Linux was somehow different.
But ISPs can be Linux-unfriendly when they have no generic config info,
just MS-win and Mac settings. Or they assume you get DNS setting from MS
extensions to PPP. Though I've found that if you say you run WinNT, you
get all the info for Linux.
And lets not forget AOL. On second thought, lets do
forget AOL.
I'll add my recommendation for dingoblue. Far from perfect, but best ISP
I've had, and they are happy to help Linux users, even if unoficially.

Oops, guess that was a bit too obvious. Too early in the morning over
here. Must have coffee.
