Amy,
It should not matter what ISP you choose unless that is you are lookng for
actual support for Linux. In that case I have no idea as I've always just
dialed or jacked in to whatever ISP I was using at the time. Dont let anyone
fool you - PPP (dial-up) is PPP, whether on Linux or Windows or whatever.
I can't comment on SuSE, as I'm a RedHat bigot.
Good Luck!
