That's not really a tech question.
Do you have a binding contract with them?

If you don't have a network card (ehternet) you'll
need one.  Cheap.  About $10-15.
Use 'netconfig' or 'neat' to configure it ('neat' has a cleaner
interface.)

NOW.....what's the layout of the office?
Are you plugging into an office network?
Directly into the DSL modem?
Do you have a static IP or DHCP?

All of these depend on what you plug in in the config menu.

Need more info.

NOTE:	If you are going directly into the DSL, either
	lock things down TIGHT with IP Chains, or whatever other
	firewall techniques you want to put in place.  Or cheat
	and put a firewall router between you and the DSL modem.
	About $50.00

Lots of ipchains gurus around here if you choose that route.

Later
