I had to call Netvision a couple of times in the past and I made a
point of telling them I used Linux. The result was always the same:
the help desk operator said that someone else would call me soon, and
they did, and there was someone who knew what
Linux/pppd/sendmail/fetchmail etc was, and the problems were solved. I
only had to call them 2 or 3 times in more than 3 years that I am a
user. As I recall, once I had a dialing problem after OS/pppd upgrade
(the guy on the other end was pretty competent), and once they screwed
up my mailbox somehow (nothing Linux-specific), and fixed it without
noticeable permanent damage. I have no experience with other Israeli
ISPs though.
