Nope. Here in Canada, DSL connections are handed off to us from a Redback 
as L2TP sessions to an endpoint.  Unfortunately we were not able to get the 
l2tpd working well enough on FreeBSD (or LINIX for that matter). Not sure 
if it would work either as a concentrator as typically the encapsulation is 
bridged and (RFC1483?) and the FreeBSD version does not support that from 
what I recall.  Also, the PPPoEd on FreeBSD does not seem to work with all 
PPPoE clients.  Most of the Windows ones work, but some dont, and none of 
the MAC ones we tried worked at all.
