I have a Westel 750044, and I would like to use it only as a modem, and use my WRTG54S as my router. Do I need to just change this line http://i.imgur.com/RHbuR.png to "Bridge", plug in my router to the modem, and configure the router? I ask because I assume there is more to it than this.

My Current VC Setup: http://i.imgur.com/uzfo3.png

Mostly I want to do this to enable DMZ mode, and also because the whole Verizon/Frontier difference on this modem/router combo is killing me (Some people have it with Verizon, some with Frontier, well mostly old forum threads). Any help would be much appreciated!

to make the modem or modem/router combo a dumb modem, simply change the configuration to bridge/bridge, and enter in your PPPoE credentials in the router you put behind it. For older circuits, use Bridge/Routed Bridge and connect the router to it. OR, just use the Netgear 7550 that Frontier provides. Its pretty decent.
