If your brother is running OS X, there's absolutely nothing the DSL guy 
needs to do except find the Ethernet plug and tell your brother whether 
the DSL is of the PPPoE variety or not. Mac OS X is a *marvel* when it 
comes to DSL. I routinely amaze and impress DSL installers with this.

If he's running OS 9, just have your brother download a copy of MacPOET 
(if PPPoE is being used) and set it to startup on launch. Again, beyond 
that there should be NO need for any third-party software.
