[SC.LUG] ISPs

[Martyn Kinder]

Hi Matthew

Most ISP's say they don't support Linux - that means they can't give you
help configuring your machine. If you cannot using PPP then your OS should
be totally transparent - if doesn't work you have to sort it yourself.

BTW, my ISP is Clara, not the cheapest, but they do have an excellent
support org and are frequently voted #1 ISP for reliability, quality, speed
of connection etc.

Very highly recommended

Hello you friendly bunch,


Matthew here with another simple, if brainless, question...

If I have an existing account with an ISP such as Freeserve or Go-plus, it
can be accessed from a Windows PC simply by dialling the right number and
entering the correct username and password.

Can I do exactly the same from a Linux PC?

These ISPs claim they don't support non-Windows OSs (except MacOS in some
cases) but since I can set up a web account with them online can I not also
dial in using kppp or similar?

Thanks in advance,



Matthew
