It puts them in a protected environment where they can get cleaned up
on-line without serious risk of re-infection. They can pop their
e-mail, reply via webmail, but they can't connect to anywhere except a
list of update sites.

there was little in the way of 'how' in the link above though :(

Well, it's very much dependant on your own network.
From what I know (from presentations of the folk behind Qnet, and
talks with people actually using it) is that they have a sort of
"export" module, which allows you to either output the IP's, or parse
them such that you get a crafted DHCP entry, or special MAC address
based "alternate VLAN" statement for on a switch etc.

which is fabulous for those of you with ethernet... without ethernet most
of these solutions fall on their faces and die the horrid death of an
enterprise product :( Now, they say: "Works great on carrier networks"...
my question was "how" and "perhaps with a little less hand-waviness
please?"

You could have answered your own questions, for your own network, in
the same amount of time as writing these postings to nanog, by asking
the company.
