Just make sure that if you end up with a modem/router, that you use a
different network behind your box for your LAN (and masquerade it).
Unless it is a business account, you may find certain ports blocked (like
incoming 80 and outgoing 25). But check the MSN or US West/Quest forums
at http://www.broadbandreports.com/ alias http://www.dslreports.com/ for
more details.
I had MSN dialup (free yr w/PC purchase), which did work for Linux (as far
as ppp, MSN web site and web mail), but just for amusement purposes. If
you want to do any non-MSN mail, I suggest you look for a Unix shell
account somewhere that you can ssh to. sdf.lonestar.org alias
www.freeshell.org runs NetBSD on multiple Alpha boxes that includes
webspace.
