Does anyone have experience connecting to a VPN using Leopard?

My wife connects to a VPN at her work through a PC running Windows XP. I have a Mac Mini that I would like to get her using but this VPN connection is what's tying her to the PC. I know that she dials in to the VPN though a modem connection. I know there isn't a traditional modem built into the Mini, will an external USB modem work for this purpose? Any advice appreciated.

Thanks all for the advice.

She's connecting to the VPN simply though a new network connection set up in XP. This was basically configured as a new dial up connection if I remember correctly. Once connected she uses a terminal emulation called AnzioWin from Terminal Emulation, Secure Shell, Telnet and Printing Solutions from Anzio.Com. There's no Mac equivalent from what I can see.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'll start fiddling. All of this is made considerably more difficult by an IT person in Calgary who is reluctant to move from antiquated technology but that's a post for another time.
