It is, but asks for pin numbers, log ins, and whatever else it seems to need 
in my distro;  when installed in Windows none of this is asked for.

Also in Windows it shows a dial up sequence of *91#;  nowhere to put this in 
any of the boxes in Linux.

Mandriva 2010.PowerPack ($$)

I was hoping to avoid the drones at Virgin - provided I can actually get a 
human; only to hear "we don't support Linux"  usual sort of rubbish.
