Now, Coditel officially supports *any* OS, including UNIX/Linux and the Mac:

Question 14 from the FAQ:

Q : My computer is a Mac or uses Linux or Unix. Can I be connected to
SpeedClick?
A: Of course. The only necessary conditions for being connected with
SpeedClick via a cable modem are to have a computer which has a network
card or USB port, and to be sure that the TCP/IP battery is installed.

This is far better than many other ISPs. If I look at FAQ from P&T, the
only thing I can see is that the Mac is supported, but that the CD which
comes with the Cube doesn't contain MS Internet Exploder for the Mac
anymore. Nothing about Linux. Nothing about the fact that you can use
any system with a TCP/IP stack:

P&T helps M$ to spread IE. What's the point? M$ users have IE anyway
(even the most recent version, because IE isn't developed actively
anymore). Do P&T customers not need popup blockers, tabbed browsing or a
secure and standards compliant browser? Is there not enough space on a
CD for at least another browser beside IE?
Just wondering...
