NO I am not building it for Dslam-box. well I want to run PPPoA server
at remote side device where ATM path terminates.
I am executing this is "pppd plugin pppoatm.so 0.80
192.168.1.1:192.168.1.2 passive" on my client(linux-box).
Just trying to put the diagram to make it clear. (Soory for not clean
diagram -:) )

Here the server device and the configuration are unknown to me. Could
you help in choose the server device (Dslam, iSam like..), and
enabling it.
James,
To your question:
I have MIPS based network device currently with me. And am exploring
all PPPoX-Client(oe/oa/...) configuration. Where I am already able to
test pppoe, pppoeonATm, and wanted start on PPPoS. - so that we can
port this solution to any of the h/w.
Now got stoped at PPPoA !!!
