[SGVLUG] new DSL configuration

[Jess Bermudes]

I do remember having to go through that bridge-mode stuff when I first
signed up. I could take a look and see what settings it's set to if that
would help but I'm not sure if there's some specific data in there that's
geared toward my regular DSL service as I'm not on Fusion.

Also I should note that I brought my own modem when I signed up so I've
been using an old SpeedStream 4100 that connects to my WRT54GL running
Tomato to do all the other fancy stuff. Although come to think of it, I'm
not doing anything terribly fancy with it to begin with.
