Emulating a SLAM in a lab

Hey everyone!
I work for an ISP, and am putting together a training lab/test bench to facilitate with training of tech support agents and labbing purposes.
One thing I would really like to accomplish is being able to provide ADSL sync to a modem in this lab. Since I do not foresee being able to move a demarc from the back inventory area where all modem testing is currently done (we have several dry loops that terminate there), I am considering trying to emulate a SLAM for this.
I am aware I could use a line tester like a Fluke in CO mode for this, but that would still not allow me to use PPPoE authentication.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Yes, I mean DSLAM. It's just that depending on the actual gear I see in use, they register different (7330, OSLAM, HDSLAM etc).
Thank you for the suggestions....VMWARE or GNS3 would both be very doable!
