I've not come across any which claim to support free OS's, but so far the
ones I've seen are accessible with NetBSD.  My cable modem works fine and
my parents ISP (formerly MCI2000, I forget what it is now) was accessible.
The only trick was to 

1) figure out it was using CHAP
2) use the win95 'find' command and search the hard drive for files
   containing the phone number it dialed.  In that file, my brother and I
   found the required usernames and passwords to let us set up PPP under
   NetBSD.

So, NetBSD wasn't supported, but it wasn't anti-supported either ;)
