Well yes, and no.
Dialup modems do not have a MAC address - but when you connect to a network they are assigned a dummy one by DUN.

All the netsky and a few other worms spoof the sender address from the address books on the infected pc - so someone who has you in their address book is infected. You should be able to trace the IP of the infected machine(s) from the e-mail headers. It is
nothing to do with your machine and NTL should be well aware of this fact.
