My experience with DSL is all you need is a NIC to connect to the DSL modem. 
Of course the installers will not know how to configure anything other than a
windows system.

I now have fiber to my house and instead of a modem I have a router with both
wired and wireless access.  Much faster than my old DSL connection.
