I am looking into setting up a dial up for my wife's Buddhist temple. One
of the programs that you could use PPP and it is either already installed
or just an apt-get away. They are dragging their feet so the only other
thing I have for you is that Comcast's customer service does indeed have
room for improvement and you might want to look into 'Basic ISP'. They
provide the same services for less in the long run. They do not
officially support Linux and I do not know how their customer service is
but it looks promising. All the parameters I talked to them about are in
PPP. Here is a how-to http://tldp.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/ There was some
work done on actual modems here
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Outofthebox/Modem/Softmodem There are a lot links
on that page that may help you too.
Good Luck :-)
