Yes you need a modem. You need a DSL modem that is compatable with your ISP. Make sure the modem has an ethernet connector since not all USB devices are linux compatable. So yes to needing a LAN card. You also need to install filters on all telephones and other devices that attach to the phone line with DSL service.

An ordinary modem ( I assume you mean dial up) will not work.
