Are you SURE he's not talking about the modem? There is usually something between the NIC and the DLSAM, even in an un-networked setup, and that thing is usually a modem, and that modem sometimes has a DHCP server.

Naturally there's a modem between the NIC and the DSLAM. There has to be.
I'm assuming the modem is transparent. If it's not, then the only thing that changes is that he won't have to set up PPPoE, since the modem will likely be handling that. In either case, the router will take DHCP information from upstream, and there's no difference to the end user.
