If the DSL modem is connected by a USB cable and NOT a USB to Ethernet
adapter, you should wait for the PC to be installed at your duaghter's home.
Also, she should be able to have her ISP support line "guide" her thru the
install.
You should however, find out the make/model of the DSL modem and get the
IPS's USB drivers downloaded onto the system before it leave's your place.
