It's a Eicon Diva 2430. I found this on it:
http://www.eicon.com/pubs/diva_2430/index.htm
with lots of links for explanations and help.
It says the modem has the IP 192.168.1.1 and that it can be
configured by pointing a web browser at that address. Can't wait
to try that tonight.

I find it weird that the IP I got the first time, when it worked,
was outside the block of 192.168.x.x and /etc/resolv.conf was
properly filled out. Now I get IP 192.168.1.2 inside the block,
and no proper /etc/resolv.conf file (it contains only the word
"search").

Right.
The docs say there's a reset button in the side which I can try.
Thanks!
