[AuckLUG] phone options

[Anthony Winter]

Following the last lug meet at the viaduct (which I thought was good, if a bit 
heavy on telecom jargon) I'm thinking about using woosh phone+broadband.
We're moving in a couple of weeks, but still in the CBD, so we need a new 
phone connection anyway, but coverage should not be a problem.
Following questions occur:
1	they don't say they support linux. Does it work? Are they actively hostile?
2	Could I do something fancy like take the woosh ethernet out to an ethernet 
port on an existing router and let it do the pppoe?
3	the computer doesn't have to be on to use the phone line - right?

Any obvious snags?

cheers
