not in the motherboard, in a PCI USB controller... pins are easy to access.
the usb onboard controller is long gone death.

But if you are talking about using a cable with a junction box
(like a usb hub), then I see no problem - but don't rely on my say so as I
am no expert. As I understand the usb works similar to Ethernet as the
device signals its presents, and not that there was a current change.
Does the modem they have not have its own wall transformer?
no, it it have just the USB cable and the phone cable (rj11)

My DSL modem
has Ethernet or usb and its own power supply.
Yeah, but those modems costs, and over here ISPs are offering this ***
modems to grab new clients.
I've told then that the best is to get a adsl-ethernet modem and a ethernet
card, but they are not happy with the idea, sinde the computer allready had
to replace the USB controller and the hard-disk.

Maybe also a cooling
problem
with the mainboard chipset? Do they run there system inside a desk
compartment? If so they may need to mount a fan on the compartment to
bring in cool air etc.
No. no heating problem :)
