You don't have to. Here you're probably lacking in QoS at the router (don't
think the DG834 does it) but unless you use the other PCs heavily when
calling it shouldn't be a problem.

The manual gives you various codes you can type into a phone to find
out/change the IP address and other network settings. If you give the 3102
a fixed IP that's fine, but I think bridge mode is not what you want. I'd
stick with the setup you had before. I think leaving it in NAT mode should
be what you want (after all, if you have nothing on the 3102's LAN port
there's nothing for it to NAT but it does mean it has a real IP address).

In the dialplan:
<:@gw0> means 'dial the PSTN'
<:@gwN> means 'dial VOIP line N' where N is 1-4

You can set up some simple rules like

#1xx.<:@gw1> means any number of two digits or more (xx.) prefixed with #1
(#1) will dial via provider 1 (<:@gw1>)

If you put in a default rule at the end of the dialplan (the above without
the #1, say) then all calls that don't match any other rule will be sent to
that provider.

(Dialplan syntax is off the top of my head, check the JMG Technology guide
in case I've got it slightly wrong)
