I've been using DirectLink (http://www.directlink.net) since
January. I've only have a couple problems and those were all GTE
problems. They don't tell you how to configure Linux, but they don't
have any problems with you running Linux either. Setting up Linux for
ADSL is pretty much a no-brainer anyway. You configure it just like
any ethernet setup, they email you all of the ip addresses that you
need for the config. The techs seem to know what they're doing, at
least some of them run Linux I think. I certainly haven't regretted
going with them.
