	It's not all Mediaone outlets that don't permit you to use linux.  
Mediaone of Eastern Mass doesn't really care at all.  I've told their customer
support people that I use it, and the chuckle, and ask me, "How well does that
work?  I've been thinking about using linux myself!"

	Of course, I'm also paid to take care of unix systems, so that may 
afford me some leeway.
