Gilad,
The pptp tunnel ends at the ADSL . It (the ppp session that is tunneled
inside the PPTP) is then converted into PPPoA (PPP
over ATM) that ends at the RedBack router. If the user chooses an ISP that
ends the PPP in its own router, the PPP session is injected into another
tunnel (L2TP or PPPoA ) to the ISP. All this tunneling is transparent to
the client whose LCP session is actualy done with his ISP.
