Hi Dale,
Been using Bellsouth which is now AT&T for the last 6 years. You should 
get a modem from them, I have a Westell 6100;
http://www.amazon.com/Westell-6100-ADSL2-Modem-Router/dp/B000QPPY0A
It has two ways to use it Ethernet or usb, use Ethernet and disable the usb.
Set up in bridge mode to a WRT54GL;
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124190
I have a low traffic web site;
http://dwabbott.com/
file server and also run asterisk, works pretty good all in all. I have 
had to play with the settings on the WRT54GL, I have DD-WRT on it;

Enjoy,
