[NTLUG:Discuss] AT&T@Home redux

High speed Internet access has finally come to the technological back-
water of Valley Ranch.  Unfortunately it has come in the form of AT&T
@Home, so it looks like I now live in a Windows-only zone.

I just schlepped my laptop over to the house of a friend who has the
service installed, and I verified that it is impossible to get an IP
address without the supplied NETBIOS name.  A quick test with Samba was
unsuccessful.

Before I retreat to a cave in the mountains out of complete disgust, has
anyone been able to get this new variant of @Home working with Linux?

Thanks!
