When people say that an ISP doesn't support Fedora, it probably means that
when you phone them up and ask them for help and they say "What OS are you
using?" and you reply "Fedora", they probably panic and wibble on about how
they only support some flavor of MS.

So in a way, most ISP's probably don't support *nix, where support means
provide help, rather than allow connections from *nix.

But if your modem/router or whatever can connect to them, anything will run
via that connection.  Even my PDA would work on that connection, (but they
are not going to support that either).
