pppoa connection

I am wondering if the following is possible.
My local ISP only uses pppoa for their DSL customers. They
have provided me with an Actiontec GT701 DSL modem. I want
to configure the modem to use RFC 1483 transparent bridging.
This modem has both an ethernet and USB interface for the
LAN connection.
I have a FreeBSD box that I have configured as my router and
firewall. It is currently being used to connect to my ISP
using a radio link so I know that it is configured properly
for routing and firewalling.
The question is, can I establish a pppoa connection from the
FreeBSD box to my ISP by sending packets over ethernet to the
DSL modem?
Thanks,
Kim
