>How exactly are you going to get the DSL signal from the telephone line >into the ATM card, then? You did say this was ADSL. I haven't seen any available recently but you used to be able to buy ADSL modems which simply did the layer 1 conversion from the POTS line to (typically) an ATM25 UTP port. Cisco had one (model 626 or 627 I think.) Plus of course the network side of the DSLAM is likely 155Mbps ATM, so you could connect your FreeBSD server there to terminate PPPoA from subscribers. I'd be interested to know how many such sessions you could achieve on a FreeBSD box - it could be a low-cost alternative to the products from Cisco or Redback etc. Aled
