Looks like you're in luck, though:
"Currently, the plan is to transition those customers who:
Have Qwest.net Internet Access using an analog dial-up line, Qwest DSL 256, Qwest DSL Select, or Qwest DSL Deluxe connection and, Use the Windows operating system." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Actually, I am not in luck and will be changing providers because I want to have choices in both my choice of email clients as well as operating systems which does include a substantial investment in Linux. And I wish the DOJ would do something about it but it is not very likely. Even worse, is that a semi-regulated, once part of a monopoly itself, Qwest should be a party to this but M$ talk and MSN is "buying" the Qwest's POPs. Such is the nature of the road to Microsoft's world domination... and .net initiatives.

My ISP Qwest (soon to be x-ISP) entered an alliance with Microsoft MSN whereby all of Qwest's 1/2 million Internet subscribers will be "transitioned" to MSN where the only POP3 email clients allowed will be MSN Explorer, Outlook, and Outlook Explorer. :-( Linux users need not apply and they are working on a solution for Mac users. If you want to know more, goto www.qwest.net and follow the links...
