Comment Read the prior reports from Godun (Score 1) 106
If you read the prior reports to this final one, you will notice that BellAtlantic explicitly stated that they currently only support the iMac because the MAC address is written on a sticker on the side of the ethernet port. Despite it being two clicks away for a Macuser to gain the MAC address of their builtin ethernet, BellAtlantic also said that they would charge you the fee to send out someone to install the ADSL, only to turn you down if you don't have an iMac. So while it is technically feasible to connect ADSL to the Mac, and any computer that can use ethernet, BellAtlantic will not let you go out on your own in this case. I am sure that Godun would have jumped at the oppurtunity to configure the ADSL with an "unsupported config," knowing that it would work. The problem remains that he was not given the oppurtunity. It is a sad state of affairs, and some are correct when they say that Macusers have received this kind of repsonse every once in a while, but never to the extent and hostility that BellAtlantic used in this case.
