Hi Leon
If it is a standard telstra ADSL modem she will need to connect to it with a LAN cable (not USB). If the LAN port is operational (driver loaded) connection should be automatic. Check the control panel-system-hardware to make sure the LAN port Driver is loaded.
If the Telstra Modem is connected to a wireless router (or has one built in) she will need to find its name and probably provide a key. If there is a router look underneath it there will be a label with its name and default key.
I have just had a similar setup at our apartment in London. There was a standard BT modem and I needed to connect to it using the LAN cable. This was found automatically when I connected the cable.
Later I bought a cheap wireless router (Belkin) and installed it from the disk (automatic but took a few minutes). This gave me the convenience of no cables draped across the floor. Worked great especially on skype when I called home.
