I believe you're refering to ppp, which isn't well documented in itself. You would be more intersted in a more full-featured comm program. The best one I know if is Seyon, a ProComm-like program for X Windows. It has all the bells and whistles. If you haven't found it already, check out the Handbook and the rest of the documentation on http://www.freebsd.org/. Or, you can find the Handbook in /usr/share/doc/handbook on any installed system with the doc distribution.
