Not many ISP will say that they support Linux. For them it doesn't mean only that Linux will be able to use network (fiber optic), but that they can tell customer what to do if something doesn't work. With so many distributions it will demand to much resources, and the answer is almost always no. Fiber optic is just fast network transport, if you have to connect your computer to fiber optic adapter using Ethernet cable, than it doesn't matter how that adapter talks to central office. On the other side if there is windows based software used to log onto Verizon network, than uses some proprietary authentication, answer might be really 'no'. The only way to make sure that it will work is to have test ride. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
