how do you do this ? Could someone implement this function in FreeBSD or NetBSD ? 
the purpose of this is simple : being able to configure SDH VCs and pass ATM over it or
IP + MPLS, thus one would be able to have affordable Telco Grade Fiber infrastructure
based on FreeBSD or NetBSD systems , much much cheaper than what exists on the market
at this time (unless I don't know about cheap ATM over SDH and IP MPLS over SDH hardware
that already exists) , Of course I realize that I won't get ASICs based hardware performance
for routing because I don't know of any PCI based switch fabric cards available and less
about drivers for such cards.

But I am sure I am not the only one who would be happy to get its hands on such hardware
and sofware, nowdays with 64bits PCI slots I think this would be feasible ( as far as 
overall bus speed is concerned )

Also I know that Juniper M series Gigabit routers are FreeBSD based
