The only way to do PPPoA is to have a device that does the DSL and
ATM layers and handles the rest to FreeBSD. There is a chapter in
the handbook that covers this, but of course it mentions specific
devices and I think there would a very small number of devices
that you can use with FreeBSD to do PPPoA.
