Just don't use convergys for dsl, I know a guy that did work in tech
support for them, they tell their support people to do some downright
bad practices and support has to get you "off the line" in 15 min or
less regardless of your problem or they are in trouble, I've gotten an
earful on several occasions from him, good luck

On another note with this, I can say that my friend called *MANY* DSL
and
cable providers today, and absolutely none were Linux-friendly.  In
fact,
they weren't anything but Windows friendly.  They were even skeptical of
Macs.  More than one actually told her that Linux wouldn't work with
their
system.

I was walkin' down the street,
when I thought I heard this voice say,
"Say, ain't we walkin' down the same street,
together on the very same day",
And I said,
"Hey senorita, that's astute", I said,
"Why don't we get together and call ourselves an institute"
