(sorry for the arcane URL). Aliant is a telephone company and ISP in Nova Scotia and some other Atlantic Canadian provinces.
Not surprisingly, their system requirements only mention Windows and Mac OS. Can Aliant's DSL work with Linux?
According to the DSL Howto, I need to know whether I will be connecting with a bridged connection and DHCP, or PPPoE, or possibly PPTP. Does anyone know what they use?
Aliant's pages say they require a password. I've seen other DSL services where they required one to use a proprietary Windows program to log on, and am concerned I won't be able to do such a thing with Linux. If I can supply the password with some standard protocol, then it should work fine.
