Hi, don't use the old config files... NEVER use the old config files when you have new hardware... Do the config from scratch, and remember to check out the documentation on flashtux (eciadsl site) to see which options need to be compiled in the kernel and which as modules. You also need to include stuff like hdlc support... Don't bother with the kernel's DSL Modem or USB modem options, none of those are required, and will probably cause more issues with installation...
Do the following... Download the documentaion from the site, print/write down the kernel compilation options on a piece of paper, get into linux, check your symlinks to the kernel source, start from scratch. Everything from make mrproper and make clean, do not skip anything... Configure your standard hardware first, then use your 'checklist' and add all the stuff thats needed for the DSL modem, compile your kernel, add to lilo, etc... Ultimately, the ethernet option is a LOT easier to deal with, and fewest problems, but getting the DSL modem to work, that gives you a weird sort of satisfaction... :) Good luck.
