If you get something like a D-Link DSL 300G+ then the modem handles doing the
ppp crap itself and will work with any OS. All you need to do is to plug it
into an ethernet card, where it will hand out your machine a DHCP lease, and
everything will magically work.
The only annoyance with it is that the DHCP leases it hands out are about 5-10
seconds in length (well, I guess there's no other way if you've got a dynamic
IP on you DSL), but for those with static IPs it's pretty damn annoying.
