[Scottish] Recommendations on ADSL service/provider? - resend to correct the question

[Colin Fraser]

BT have finally got the lead out and are enabling our exchange this week! 
Should have sorted this out ages ago but there's nothing like the eleventh 
hour to sharpen the mind.

So I want an ADSL connection (scrapping my expensive ISDN line). Can anyone 
help with recommendations on modem to use, best provider, etc?

Both BT and Tiscali offer free modems, but can these be used with Linux? I've 
seen the recommendations for Force9, but what gear should I get to be able to 
use them?

Any help gratefully received - if I wasn't working in Ireland there'd be pints 
at the next meeting as an extra inducement but I suppose I'll just have to 
rely on your goodwill!

TIA,

Colin
