Yes, he *could* do that. However I strongly recommend against it.
I recommend putting a cheap router between the computer and the
DSL modem, even if no other computer is on the "network". That's
the way I run. This provides a nice firewall.

cable/DSL modem through Ethernet. Some providers are in the nasty habit
I didn't recommend against Ethernet, I recommended for it. Just
with a router.
