USB of Ethernet to the modem ?  I'm unsure how USB<>modem stuffs works,
hence the question :).

No prob :)

192.168.100.1 is actually quite common among cable modems (and maybe DSL?).
 Most will generally only offer statistics, as you have mentioned yours gave
you.

I'm wondering if Qwest is the one giving you a Qwest-internal-network of
10.64.0.1.  I'm also curious if that's USB related.  Basically, with
10.64.0.1, you're in some kind of private network still.  While you might be
able to telnet to 10.64.0.1, I'd be very cautious about alot of stuff -- you
might be accessing something inside the ISP rather than your modem :).

I highly doubt that Qwest would NAT all of it's users... thereby not
allowing them to run ANY public services.
