place a .ppprc file in each user's home directory containing 

     xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy # ip's of local and remote hosts

where:
xx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the server (the FreeBSD machine)
yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the IP address of this user

For either of the above the user's (client) ppp MUST be set up to
negotiate a dynamic IP address. Implementation of this varies from
client to client, but usually it involves setting 0.0.0.0 in the
client's PPP setup.
