Taharka: I got around to trying this, and everything seemed to be OK, except I 
couldn't get out to the net. There's an additional page linked to from that 
site, and I'll have to take a look, as it is for the exceptions that don't 
just work. It turns out they had a section for my DSL Modem, and I just 
missed that on first glance. One thing that's seemingly disconcerting, is 
that you don't seem to be able to connect to the DSL modem using the web 
address once you put in in bridge mode and save. The only way I could get 
back was to reset the thing with the hardware button, and that then forced me 
to go through the whole registration process again with Verizon. But, I'm 
back to where I was.
