I can see it in avrdude.conf at least here in my CVS checked out
version.

First and foremost, a datasheet. ;-)  You simply program the fuses like
memory regions, so you first gotta know *what* you're going to program.

The probably simplest method at first is to program them using the
`terminal mode' (avrdude -t).  For a batch job, use the `direct'
memory type in the -U option.

Don't know what a DT006 might be, but there's a definition for a DT006
in avrdude.conf that uses the parallel port.

Just look into the config file, there are many fairly simple parallel
port adapters.
