It's USB or Ethernet Cable. Most of the DSL modem are using Ethernet cable while most of Cable modem can use either USB or Ethernet cable to connect to a PC.

A Coaxial Cable, Ethernet Cable, and NIC are necessary to connect a modem to a computer.
(standard setup)
Coaxial Cable --> Modem --> Ethernet Cable --> NIC
(same thing but with a router)
Coaxial Cable --> Modem --> Ethernet Cable --> Router --> Ethernet Cable --> NIC
(special exception)
Coaxial Cable --> Modem with USB supported network capabilities --> USB Cable --> USB plug on Computer.
