Been doing this for quite a while from 3.4 through 4.1 with a bank of 8
modems...  My preference is to use userland PPP, not pppd - I like the
amount of control that ppp(8) gives you through pppctl(8).  

In /usr/local/etc/mget*/login.config, change:

/AutoPPP/ -    a_ppp   /usr/sbin/pppd auth +chap +pap login debug

to

/AutoPPP/ -     a_ppp   /usr/sbin/ppp -direct incoming


...set up /etc/ppp/ppp.conf to have an "incoming" declaration (I
believe this is described in the man page for ppp.) :

incoming:
        set server +3000 MyMaintPasswd
        set speed 115200
        set timeout 600
        set log Phase Chat Connect IPCP tun
        set login
        set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/24 10.0.0.2/24
        enable chap
        enable pap
        enable dns

and /etc/ppp/ppp.secret:
rmtsysname   s0m3pa$$w0rd

works like a champ.
