[SoCoSA/discuss] ATT T1 line with Cisco 1841 Router

[Tony Fardella]

The best bet is to use another router and not mess with the AT&T  
router. You probably never get them to set it up the way that you want  
and even if you did there's always the chance they could screw it up  
with a later remote update.
