Hi, I am currently on iiNet Broadband, it is connected through my Linux server.. It was pretty easy to install, I have only had experience with an ex-telstra Alcatel SpeedTouch Home Ethernet..
If you are going to connect to iiNet I would suggest using a modem on their "support" list: http://www.iinet.net.au/support/modems/adsl/index.html This means they can help you with any troubles (if you plug it into windows/mac to test :/).. I would also suggest to use external modems for linux, they are much easier to install/configure, and ISPs perfer them too.
