I'm using a NEC Aterm IT50 DSU, with linux and Win95.  I got it
in Shinjuku (at a Yodobashi or Bikku-pasokonkan), but there are
more in Akihabara of course.  It works fine, but I haven't tried
all the cool stuff I plan to do with it yet; I'm just doing a
demand-dialed 64K PPP and an analog phone line.  I didn't need
to patch anything, at least.

I've had no problems with TWICS, altho they are a tad pricy, and 
they don't offer a certain service I want.  I'm going to shop around.
