Jason,
I know /mdc disappeared for a while but now it's back. My gateway runs version 6.1.9.24-enh.tm and I can get to /mdc. But it's more like a detailed list of setting than actual configuration page. If you want to test your AT&T's DNS servers you can use this tool: http://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm It's free but Windoze only :-( Unfortunately I did not find any Linux alternative as simple and nice as this one.
