Amy, It should not matter what ISP you choose unless that is you are lookng for actual support for Linux. In that case I have no idea as I've always just dialed or jacked in to whatever ISP I was using at the time. Dont let anyone fool you - PPP (dial-up) is PPP, whether on Linux or Windows or whatever. I can't comment on SuSE, as I'm a RedHat bigot. Good Luck! --Tim On Fri, 1 Aug 2003 at 11:43 -0700 Amy E.
