[aprssig] Help with DSL Modem

[Jim Duncan]

What kind of DSL modem are you using? I had a similar problem when I 
upgraded from a BEFR to a WRT54G here. Sprint (my local provider) gave 
me a set of commands to send to the modem through telnet access which 
made everything hunky-dorey...

"the high-jacking"
