Do you have your A-DSL line up with that modem? Means, can you ping your 
providers nameserver e. g. from the FreeBSD box?
Usually you have to set different ATM parameters in such modems (VCI VPI) 
which aren't public in general, so you should stay with your provider's 
modem. Is that a ethernet modem or USB?
