Comment Modem and ISP. (Score 1) 214
Just two comments:
1) Many ISPs may not support Linux, but that doesn't mean it won't work. You've probably learned about the modem logs that are generated with the ppp daemons and programs. I've used them to figure out what the other end wants to hear and then set up ppp accordingly.
2) Get an external modem. You can't beat having those indicator lights to tell you what's happening. Besides, if it's just the modem, you don't have to pack up the whole box and risk shipping damage again.
