This PPPoA is pretty heady stuff... For the benefit of everyone here who would like some more background on this, check out Cisco's whitepaper, here: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/794/pppoa_arch.html.

Personally, I haven't worked with ATM in about six years. It was gaining steady acceptance here in the States, as an alternative to fractional T1, but most of its fury fizzled out with the advent of less expensive technologies.

Okay, enough side-tracking on topologies (I love this stuff). Thanks for the discussion, John, and again, good luck building your gizmo.  ;-)
