Plenty of major ISP providers can be accessed with plain vanilla

(Linux, NetBSD, etc.) can be used. Most small local providers
work fine, too.
Did anybody figure out a way to get around

Nope. It will take reverse-engineering the protocol to get it
work, but more importantly it will take finding an ISP that you
can call to get PPP working. The major dial-up providers (AOL,
netzero, etc.) require custom software, to my knowledge; they
aren't straight-up SLIP or PPP.
TCP/IP would be easier if the broadband adapter
didn't command
$150-$200 on epay.
Can't one just connect it through ethernet? (I don't know much
about the Dreamcast)
