This article is geared toward Linux but gives an excellent explanation
of
what goes on during ppp connection.  http://www.diac.com/linux2.html
First
you should install the port minicom from
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/comms.html then follow the example of
logging
in manually.  You should be able to substitute the FreeBSD specific ppp
configuration details and concentrate on the manual login.  Pay
attention to
the part about starting a script to log all terminal input.  This file
will
be the key to your final configuration.

Hope this helps,

Jim
