Dear friends,It's hard to tell what ISP's users running GNU/Linux are getting "support"
I have recently had the worst of times with my ISP who also is my main
internet address provider (I use Hotmail, alas, only for my public
messages since it is saturated with spam anyway). Ideally, I would look
for a company in the USA, with either state-wide local numbers, or an 800
number to call, which would care about its customers and who at least
have some knowledge about Linux (the big ones all want us to run Win32
software on our machines).
Other considerations are, of course, ease of connection, downtime, etc.
Is anybody on this list actually happy with his ISP and mail server
provider? If yes, please help me out with this!
Also, I prefer not to go with a company which provides email as a
"sideorder" for long-distance or local telephone service.
While I cannot afford to pay much, I use dial-up anyway, I certainly
would be willing to pay for good quality.
I was told that Earthlink is ok. Does anybody know?
Finally, it would be ideal to find a company which is strongly pro-Linux
or somehow linked with the linux community.
Am I dreaming,
Cheers,
Andrei

"you must not have more than 4 appliances connected to any one telephone line"
as freeserve does.
By this, I don't mean 4 appliances using the line simultaneously,
which is not possible, but 4 devices, whether they be that computers or just handsets.
