Not sure what they mean here. The DSL modem is supplied by DSL Extreme,

is something like my Linksys WRT-54G. It does a normal DHCP on the DSL
modem side and just does its thing. I'm guessing that the phrase
"dynamic connections" refers to DHCP.
Do I read between the lines here that the DSL Extreme modem has a
single output port?
Searching the fine print on the AT&T web site I see that the $50 DSL
modem that comes as part of their standard deal has a single output
port. For $20 extra you could get one with a 4-port switch built in.

I have been following this thread with interest. You guys are way over
my head on the technical stuff. I have the AT&T dsl setup with the
siemens modem 4100 (not b). It is pppoe and has only one port. I have
it connected to linksys wrt54gl. If I remember correctly it was simple
to set up with their directions, no bridging involved. Later I got a
voip phone and to get it working bridging had to be set up. The AT&T
tech talked me through it and somehow It works but I don't really know
how I did it.
I have not had any long outages yet, and the tech service has been o.k.
so far (knock wood).
