They provided me with a SpeedStreem 3060 internel PCI "modem" card from Efficient Networks, Inc. instead of an external interface with an ethernet connection (as was promised.) After some digging around, I determined that the card is running ppp on top of ATM. Why it is done this way is beyond me. Maybe it has to do with the fact that ATM is session oriented and this is a "cheap" way of building a session. Has anyone had any experience getting such a card to work on FreeBSD? If not, are there people who have started work on building a device driver for such a card? I am not sure if I will be able to convince PacBell to give me the other interface.
