Hmmm.... It might just be the FUD that they are trying to get you to
believe. It might just be a salesman who doesn't know what he is talking
about. Worst case scenario, you can order the DSL and when they come out to
install it, let them do all the work and then spring on them you use Linux.
The installer might just let you get by without installing the software. If
the DSL can connect to a router than you don't need the software on your
machine. It might be that the DSL modem connects via USB and needs special
drivers.
Find out the actual software they need to install and what modem they will
be using. Post it here and maybe we can all help you out.
Or better yet, let the installer come to your house, sit at the computer and
try to install their 'special' software. ;)
