Let me see if I understand you correctly, you want the clients to 
connect to the Asterisk directly using PPPoE? As opposed to, connecting 
your clients to your ISP via PPPoE and then connect to your Asterisk via 
IP. If that's your objective the short answer is no. Generally, you need 
a DSLAM to support ADSL (I'm aware there're ADSL modems can work in a 
direct point-to-point mode). Not to mention that you'll need untapped 
analog leased lines from every client to your server.
