If this is an ATM25 interface, for example, it's going to have 3 pairs, a TX a RX and DC power. And it's going to be terminated on a RF45 jack. There will be no telephone number associated with this If however it's ADSL then it's a single pair, on a telephone POTS line. If that is the case then it's a band of frequencies that need to be converted into something that the FreeBSD system can understand electrically. That is what the DSL modem does. Ted
