Anything is possible - but let's first start with a few questions. 1. What brand Microwave link? 2. Does it have a TDMA protocol (many mfg's have their own - example ubnt.com has "air control" ) 3. Is the link going to use encryption?
You could use a pppoe Connection via pfsense - plus tunnel via a vpn between the two - thus giving you a high level of security. We do this all the time with www.CountryConnection.net clients :-) and links. I have the link to my own home setup that way.
