Try www.telocity.com. They do ADSL, will set up the line for you, and
will provide you with an external ADSL modem. They specifically support
Unix including Linux.
I couldn't get it for myself but I ordered it for my father. If you get your
order in before Wednesday, the installation and setup fees are waived.
I went with MediaOne because it's the only option available. They specifically
prohibit the use of anything other that Win95/98 or MacOS. Currently I'm
operating under a "don't ask. don't tell" policy making damn sure that
no services are accessible except from a few very specific locations. I've
been extremely pleased with the service once they finally got the modem online.
I had to get huffy with the second tech that came out because he was going
to leave with my service not running because "the contractor didn't finish
the job." But after explaining to him and his supervisor that I didn't really
give a damn about who's to blame, just fix the service, he called in and
got the modem's MAC number adjusted. Been online with the same IP ever since.
Hope this helps.
