This will be NO problem once you have the modem installed and 
reconized by their systems! They go through a lot of back flips with a 
proxy to manually log into the server. It is much easier to do it all 
via Win$nore, but not impossible in Linux... (personal experience) Now 
they are not happy that you will be using Linux as your OS! Too easy 
for you to do things that they can't put their thumb down on you or 
able to charge you for it!
