A friend uses it with Redhat 6.1 (he had to update ppp to 2.4) apart from the 
ppp update no other dramas setting it up.
Apparently there is an issue with which end sends LCP first, not sure of the 
details but ppp 2.4 fixed it.

He is getting sick of poor throughput & dropped connections and was thinking 
of moving to plusnet, oddly enough!

Apart from their hopeless shell accounts where they reboot the server with 
scary regularity, well they used to, I don't use my plusnet shell anymore. 
Otherwise they seem fine (to me).

They seem to have very slightly more clue than when they were Force 9 and 
since they sorted out their bust up with BT surftime (booted off some people 
who dared to actually use the service) things seem to have settled down (here 
anyway).
