'Supported' means they have someone who can walk you through the setup
and troubleshoot your config. If you know 'route' or your whatever
else you use for your system's routing config, you shouldn't need
that. You get  subnet of three consecutive IPs: One for the subnet
route (netmask 255.255.255.252), one for your machine, and one for the
default gateway, which is at the other end of the ADSL line. The guy
who did my installation rebooted his Win notebook twice during the
process to change IPs, etc. I then typed a few routing commands on my
server and was up and running :-), I kept a redundant modem connection
for a short while, but it really wasn't necessary - the downtime I've
seen has mainly been larger routing/connectivity problems at iiNet
and/or uuNet, unconnected to the ADSL connection.
