Anyone using  SuSE with a ADSL modem connected to Bell Atlantic?

I have heard some phone companies are using Microsoft's VPN which
isn't compatible with the unix standard so users are forced to use
Microsoft products.  A fellow at the local linux users group said he
was forced to pay an additional $24.00 a month for a static ip address
in order to use something other than windows. I am not interested
in paying a penalty to use something other than windows.  

My first preference would be to continue using an os/2 box with the
In-joy firewall, because it works well and is really easy to use, but if
that is not compatible with Microsoft's VPN,  using a SUSE box would
be my next choice. If neither work then I probably will not get
ADSL as I do not want to pay a monthly penalty fee because I do not
want to use windows.

Is anyone using BellAtlantc's ADSL  with linux , using the unix version of
VPN?

thanks in advance,

joe
