Now you bees playing in my old neighborhood (Tom, get your daughter in on 
this).  Let's not confuse "Hayes" with "modem".

A "modem" (Modulator / Demodulator) is nothing more than a signal translation 
device, regardless of its intended application (DSL, dial-up access, AM radio, 
etc.)
- In the MODulation function, it uses a baseband signal (CAT5 in this case) to 
modify one or more aspects (phase, frequency, amplitude) of a carrier signal in 
a predefined manner.
- In the DEModulator function, it performs a reverse process, extracting the 
baseband signal from the modified carrier signal.

Here's a reasonably decent discussion on how DSL signals are propagated:
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/dsl4.htm 

It's not "audible" audio, but it is audio, nonetheless...

It depends on your definition of "audio."  If you mean that the signaling is 
based on square waves of a fixed high and low amplitude at a particular 
frequency being interpreted as a digital signal, then OK.  But if you are 
defining DSL's"audio" nature as the modulation of electromagnetic signals 
into true "sound" (which is what a modem does) by creating signals of 
amplitude, frequency and phase represented in the form of the typical 
trigonometric sine and cosine wave (analog), then I must respectfully 
disagree.

Ok, smarty-pants.
The CAT5 electrical signals that represent the Ethernet traffic are used to 
modulate the audio between the modem & the DSLAM.

DSL is by nature, audio.

I'm going to pretend like I never read that.  Ethernet signals are used to
modulate audio signals?  I'll have a puff, please.

Actually, the ones that bridge Ethernet to telco are modems.
They use the Ethernet signals to modulate the audio signals carried to the
DSLAM.

Just like the marketroids call them "modems."  There ain't a BIT o' analog
modulation a'goin on...

..but of course you have, oh Diva of SBS fame.

The marketroids call them "routers".
Sometimes they're part of the modem; sometimes not.
Sometimes they're configured for NAT, sometimes not.
When it's not NAT-ing, it's acting like a hub (bridge).

In this case, the only interesting part is that the device is configured as
a bridge.

What's a DSL bridge? I've never run into one of those in small business

Oooo..k.

Jeff gets step #1.
For those of us not "netsh-aware", the full command would be (assuming you
named the external interface "north"):
 - netsh int ip add addr north 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0

Alexandre gets "most sickliest response". :-p

To continue the challenge, answer the following questions:
1. why doesn't it work yet?
2. what non-GUI step must be taken to make it work?

..remember; ISA policies are not interesting yet.

Remember; this is the "out of the GUI" challenge.
How would you accomplish item 1 from the command line?

Also, it still won't work (incomplete).
What other non-ISA, non-GUI steps must be taken?

#2 answered correctly.

1) Bind a additional static IP 10.0.0.X/24 to ISA External Interface
2) In case of dynamic IP, static IP can't assign as per 1)
