Would be good.

When I signed up around 2 years ago the process started with a query to
their website where I specificially asked about Linux support. Important
to me as I don't have any Windows machines & wouldn't put one outside the
firewall even if I did.

They phoned me back & told me to use Roaring Penguin (by name) as it was
known to work but were adamant that they do not "officially" support
Linux. I'm not 100% sure, but think the woman that phoned might even have
given me a couple of tips on configuration.

Since then I've had two firmware upgrades on the modem. The first time a
woosh technician came to my work and applied the upgrade.

The second time I didn't want the 8 hour downtime (unplug modem, take to
work, work, upgrade, work, take home) so I borrowed a Windows laptop & did
the upgrade myself.

lousy judge of character?
