In theory yes, in practice it will depend on what your ISP supplies.  

If it is ADSL and your ISP supplies a USB modem then it will need to 
be changed - I've yet to find a way of using a USB modem with OS/2.  
On the other hand, if they supply a modem/router then yes it will work
and you don't have to be concerned with whatever they use on the WAN 
side.

Most modem/routers are set to provide DHCP as default, all you have to
do in that situation is set your OS/2 box to accept DHCP.
