NO! DSL modems are completely different than DSL modems.
You need to contact ATT and see about getting a plain jane DSL modem. I can understand them wanting you to use theirs and I can understand you wanting to use yours.
When I had DSL I went through a few (I mean a few) tech calls trying to get my DSL modem to do just that be a modem and not a router. When I found the right Tech guy it just took one change of a field in the modem setup and all was OK.

The box with my DSL ATT stuff arrived today and I"m not sure I'm going to even try to install it. I hadn't realized that their modem was also the wireless box. I have NO intention of redoing my wireless network again. I just bought...and love....an Airport extreme and want to use it. According to the instructions in the box, I have to use the ATT modem and set up wireless thru that. No way. Does anyone know if I can keep using the modem I currently use for Comcast and plug the DSL cable into that? It's much more complicated than I had anticipated just because I'm not new to this and want to keep my equipment the way it is now. Thanks guys. Paula IN/USA Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
