[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you talk to the right person at SWB, they'll tell you it works with

I use SWB DSL with Linux...

Linux supports PPPoE.

Linux will work with cable modem, or DSL... or... once it's up and running,
the new broadband wireless I'll be offering in the area.... :-)

I just got back from a BreezeCom training conference... I'm now a certified
BreezeCom installer... yipee! <sarcasm>I love certifications!!</sarcasm>
