he wasn't talking about support for linux systems on a stand-alone
service. he was talking about support for dial-up linux users, as opposed
to support for dial-up windows and mac users.

it is true that support for dial-up linux users costs more, and since they
are a mcuh smaller crowd then dial-up windows users, most ISPs
neglect them.
