Lucky you. When my new DSL-Card (modem on a PCI card) in 2002 didn't work
well and I contacted the support I had to install Windows 2000 (luckily I
had the installation CD handy) to check things. Turned out the hardware
was indeed toast.

In 2007 I ordered new internet via phone. In the process I was asked what
operating system I run. I said "Linux". She: "What?". I repeated Linux
and she asked to tell whether I use Windows or Mac. So I replied
"Mac". At the end of the order I asked why she wanted to know the
OS. "That we can ship you your free virus scanner for your operating
system". After receiving the package, that CD included went unopened
straight to the garbage.

Not easy sometimes if you run Linux and need support...
