Hi, In my opinion, the O/S should not make that much of a difference for an ISP in terms of how the modems are functioning..at least not any ISP of reasonable size...the only thing that might be done by computers is authentication, everything else should be controlled by Portservers/Analog or Digital Modems... ...and perhaps they need to tweak their settings a tad...
