Though I cannot confirm it, I have heard reports that Linux works just
fine with their DSL modems.  They only officially support Win9x, but if
you ask BA tech support they say that Linux will work, they just can't
tell you how.  AFAIK their client doesn't really do anything that isn't
already done with Windows DHCP, they just want it to look like Grandma
has the same kind of control on her DSL connection that she did with
dialup, versus a full-time ethernet connection.
