It has been a while since I set this up, but it is really simple.  I made the
following changes to my /etc/ttys file:

ttyd0  "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  dialup  on
ttyd1  "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600"  dialup  on secure

I attached two modems, one to each serial port on my motherboard.  I then
dumped two files into /etc/ppp:

options.ttyd0
options.ttyd1

Each file contains two ip addresses, one for the server (modem) side, and one
assigned to the dial up user e.g.
192.168.114.1:192.168.114.2 <<== contents of options.ttyd0
192.168.114.3:192.168.114.4 <<== contents of options.ttyd1

The only semi hard part was getting the 192.168 address added back into my
firewall and NAT so user could go out on the internet, but it only took a few
minutes of looking at the ipfw logs for rejected packets to get it figured
out.  Basically, I had to set the dial up client's DNS and that was it.  You
will also need to SIGHUP init to get it to reread the ttys file.

HTH,
Gene
