what the hell is this doing here? if i need some kind of help like this, i certainly will not come to slashdot! this is not what i come here for, besides the fact that it is poorly written and informs us of nothing insightful, not to mention how chauvinistic it is. please curb your useless "news" posts. if you really need to post some utter crap like this again, feel free to post it somewhere that is interested in crap like mTV or seventeen.com . do not insult us again with this offensive tripe.
This exact same situation is the case with my isp, uswest. They ship you a 'setup package' which is a cd with netscape and some other progs on it.
When you install netscape, it opens a java program in netscape which collects some information from you and interacts with their server to create your account.
The only reason it requires Windows is because that is the OS they make all their CDs for. Tihs could easily work for other OSs if they planned for demand from users of another operating system. i think the exclusion of other OSs is simply due to their lack of knowledge, and the people at the phone support lines can rarely help.
Anyway, after you create an account that way, you can read all the info it creates from the windows dial up networking link it configures, so you could use the connection with linux or whatever if you had a dual boot system to set up the account with in the first place.

i was going to say that if some one hadn't yet.
spelling has two "l"s... hope it's a typo. if it is, perhaps the same can be said for herka.
um...do you always talk about yourself in the third person simply because you like to hear your own name, or does it have some other purpose?
