One of the things you have told me to do is to set my DSL modem to be
the PPPoE client, which I believe it operate as, even if Earthlink does
not know it, and stop using the Windows Server 2003 PPPoE client to
connect. So, in order to do this, I have to telnet into the device, at
192.168.1.1, give it the password, go to Menu 4 and feed it my
Earthlink UserId and password. It should then connect to the service
on its own.

Now, I have started the Telnet service on my client computer
workstation, and have set the firewall to allow Telnet services to be
used. I have started the Telnet service on the SBS2003 server. I have
added the Telnet protocol and the telnet server protocol to a protocol
rule, and created a new IP packet filter for the telnet service--ie,
TCP service both ways on port 23. I have restarted the ISA service
control twice.

I can't connect to 192.168.1.1 from either my client computer
workstation, or from the SBS2003 console, run as domain administrator.
What more do I need to do?

The DSL modem is the ZyXel Prestige 645M. Anybody know the secret?
The cows don't get in the barn till I can use Telnet to open the door.

Here is a curious statement in the User Guide, under section 1.2
Features of the Prestige 645M

PPPoE - The P645M supports the PPP over Ethernet standard. Activating
PPPoE automatically the DHCP server. So much for using the PPPoE
client on a SBS network. Well, not so fast. It appears that I can set
it back to none, even after telling it to use PPPoE. Makes one feel a
little nervous, enabling the hand and then chopping it off.
