Dialing into any ISP is the same, regardless of whether the isp is run on a
Mac (unlikely), unix, or NT. But if the isp is clueless about Macs, they
won't be very helpful with tech support issues.
BTW, for the person who said that isp's all give shells, I will say that at
least in my part of the universe, shell access via an isp is very rare.
Most consider it to be too big of a security hole. My current isp does have
a shell account, but it's unbelievably limited. Basics such as perl, gcc,
and emacs are not installed on it (and it's a solaris box!)
