When the trial was announced I mailed Malcolm Muir, who said that yes,
they welcomed "non standard" kit as they wanted as broad a user base as
possible. However, I didn't get on the trial - BT's decision I believe.
At that stage it was all ethernet which would have been fine, now I
understand the cheap "home" option is USB which could be tricky. It
might work with a 2.3 kernel but I'm not going to pay for a subscription
to test this.
