I assume we're talking about their cable modem, not their ADSL whatever. The modem comes with no useful documentation, and there is no IP for the modem itself available. That means if you want to send any packet to the modem, you're out of luck, it's not addressible. I've heard that the link between modem and Telstra is NATed, but who cares, it's transparent. View the modem as a dumb cable/ethernet bridge. If it does dhcp, count that as a bonus.
