Not *my* ISP (ok my ISP as well) but all of the three largest ISPs in
Sweden (having some 80% of the market for modem connections altogether).
None of these have worked undepending on version of Windows installed (I
have not helped anyone install it with Me or 2000 however). In my
experience and opinion it's all a big hoax and is probably one of the
reasons why one must wait for, at times, above an hour to get the support.
Actually I disslike ISPs and their support (or lack of) more than I
disslike Microsoft, things were better "in the good old days" before they
tried to give DNS numbers this way.

Yeah, I heard that the driver for SB 64 PCI would work for early SB 128 but
that didn't work :(
Anyway, I'm still hopeful that I'll get it to work :)
