I wonder if AT&T has ulterior motives for this. It's not that they are being asked to go out of their way to support Linux. Quite the opposite in fact! They have taken significant steps to actively prohibit non-Windows/OSX machines from properly setting up the connections. Maybe they're concerned that by even allowing Linux to set up modems, they would be opening up an entire side to tech support that they don't want to address.
