Does your isp use pap or chap? if so you are going to need to type in
something like the following: (i'll give you everything i type and you can
work out which bits you need)

set device /dev/cuaa1		(this selects com2 for the modem)
set speed 57600
set parity none
set timeout 1200		(seconds = 20 mins)
accept chap			(or vice versa if you use pap)
disable pap
set authname username		(replace username with your username :))
set authkey password		(ditto)
set openmode active
set ifaddr 0 0			(i don't think you need this line as the

hope this helps
