More than likely they'd say something along the lines of:

'We don't support Linux'.

My ADSL provider, SBC Yahoo! DSL Service does not appear to support Linux,
but it works.

We provide a USB modem - take it or leave it.

Well, I guess that is one area where the U.S. shines; probably because we
don't have a government run PT&T service. None of the Baby Bells has that
attitude; probably because none of the CLECS which compete with them have
that attitude. But I'd tell them where they can stuff their USB ADSL modem.

If you want anything different, then buy it yourself,
just don't come asking for tech support on it.'

They sold me the modem I am using. It out of warranty, but still working.
I'll buy another modem when I need it. I don't know which make and model
would be a decent replacement...
