they might not support Linux, but then again they don't support
Windows or Mac either really! They just give you an IP address and
connect you to the internet, and optionally you can use their mail
servers over standard protocols that are older than Windows and work
perfectly fine on Ubuntu.

Slightly related rant, what really grinds my gears are ISP who send you
a CD and say you MUST install this software to use the internet, and
then poor naive people do so, cluttering up their system and having an
awful, ugly IE with about 5 rows of toolbars for everything...
I say to them, 'when I visit you with my Linux netbook, I just enter
the wireless code and I'm on the Internet...I don't need to install all
that crap'. But then the annoying buggers think I'm being smart and they
install the software anyway. Well screw you and have fun with your
cluttered slow system.
