You should use the HARP stack (that is netatm) plus the hatm driver (that
needs options atm) and the if_harp driver. Something like:
natm_interfaces="hatm0"
plus HARP configuration. See also rc.d/atm[123].
HS>2. Do I need ATMARPD ?
You should google around for HARP. There is somewhere documentation on the
net. I think, that atmarpd is only needed if you want to synchronize
several atmarp daemons.
HS>3. Are there examples for SVCs in netgraph/natm/HARP ?
There is some documentation in /usr/share/examples/atm. For the rc.conf
variables you should refer to the rc files.

What do you want the FreeBSD to do here? Should it terminate the pppoa or
whatever your DLS uses? Or do you want it to transparently connect the DSL
to the ATM switch on the ATM layer?
