Generally speaking if the cable modem has an ethernet port then you
don't have to worry. So long as your Linux box has an ethernet port
too of course!

Usually DHCP will just grab an IP address from Tiscali through the cable modem.

The only slight flaw is that if you have a problem often the providers
will only be able to talk through problem diagnosis from a windows
platform.
