Again, you should really provide as much detail as possible when asking
for help.  A formula that works well is:

	This is what I am trying to do.
		[exact commands and configs as appropriate]
	This is what I expected to see.

	This is what I saw instead
		[exact error messages / system messages]

That aside, you're probably looking for the PPP primer:

You should probably also take a look at Greg Lehey's guide to getting
the best results from the FreeBSD-questions mailing list:

Ciao,
