I work for An ISP (Score 1)

I work for an ISP, and I can sort of explain why we don't support Linux. While I technicaly can answer most questions with requards to Linux and Dial-up Networking, Management will not allow this. I suppose it may be because Linux still is not "Mainstream". Another problem, is that there is no specific way that will work with all distributions. Oh, yeah I suppose you could use the PPP-ON scripts to handle PPPD, but the average caller who is going to need their handheld, would require 30-40 minutes of tech time when configureing Windows DUN. Interchange that with having to write scripts, and the tech time will at least double.

I have emailed the Owner of my ISP for permission to start providing support for Linux, but I have not received a response yet. We shall see. ;)
