A lot of xDSL offerings these days use PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet).  If thats
the case, you can use FreeBSD.  Check to see how Windows95 is setup.  If
its not some totally propriatory system (which is unlikely), it will most
likely work.  You wont get 'support' from your telco, but then again, in a
lot of cases its not necessary.
