[lug] DSL static IP question

[Pedersen, Michael J]

Thank you for that info.  Unfortunately, I never had thought of doing such a
solution, so was kind of stuck with the bridging solution.  Once I get the
chance to go back to DSL, I'll go back to the PtP routing.  But alternate
solutions are always a good thing to have :)
