    What is PPPoA?

    I understand how PPPoE works, but what about

    PPPoA -Point to Point over ATM - How does this work?

    What is ATM?

    My (limited) understanding is that ISP's that use PPPoA give two static IP addresses - One for the user to use (VPN's, FTP, IIS, etc) - and one for a gateway. The dsl modem uses the gateway address for "authentication - username and password".

    Is this correct? What are the downsides?
