I have no experience with swiftel -- but I can tell you that:
A) All ADSL services that use standard PPPoE/A will work with Linux.
B) Pretty much none of them will help you set it up in Linux.
C) The modems, such as the D-Link DSL-300, that do PPPoE/A
authentication for you -- where you simply get your system to use a CAT5
crossover with DHCP is probably the best kind of modem in terms of
compatibility.
D) Keep away from USB Modems -- keep to ones that use a standard CAT5
links to the computer.
