This is an archive of past FreeBSD releases; it's part of the FreeBSD Documentation Archive.
The following describes how to set up PPP over ATM, a.k.a, PPPoA. Currently, the only hardware supported is the Alcatel Speedtouch USB ADSL modem
PPPoA is supplied as a port in FreeBSD because the firmware is not distributable under Alcatel's license agreement.
To install the port, simply use the ports collection to install the net/pppoa port and follow the instructions provided there.
