Tiscali may or may not work for you. They supply a USB modem. The one they 
supplied me (Sagem Fast 800) wasn't properly supported under Linux, though I 
got it working once or twice (that was back in Jan 2005). My folks who went 
with broadband with Tiscali this Feb, got a newer Speedtouch USB modem as 
part of the package.
My folks don't use Linux - so I never got to true, but I believe the 
Speedtouch would be USB compatible.



I  use one with Onetel 2meg broadband and have no problems.  There are several 
options for setting it up. Which is best depends on your distribution.  I 
have used it with Suse, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, JuegaLinux(Spanish) and Mepis (my 
present system).  If anyone needs details my email is jg00gw at onetel.com

Onetel does not support Linux only Mac & Windows but this has never proved a 
problem.
