Since it wasn't specified, can I just extend this question to ask about UK Broadband connections e.g. BT Home Networking? I'm often tempted, given my present 56k limitations, despite good service from LineOne (aka Tiscali) dialup. Fwiw, I can get most "networky" things going e.g. firewalls, proxy, samba etc. - fairly rapidly :-) But I do just wonder - Is anyone successfully used a Broadband connection with the standard (supplied) hardware kit and SuSE 8.0+?

All UK ISPs *allow* you to connect using any OS. They just won't support anything other than Windows or MacOS (with a few exceptions). So, I'd just try connecting. You should be able to get the relevant details (phone number and server addresses) reasonably easily.
