a minor p.s. to my notes, I forgot this line for the mgetty login.conf:

/AutoPPP/ -     -            /etc/ppp/ppp-pap-dialup

which is crucial to making this work.  Also, you may have to edit 
/etc/passwd manually to get it to accept a shell not listed in 
/etc/shells.

Otherwise, I reinstalled 5.3 on a new drive today and the dialin seemed 
to work.... EXCEPT that I had changed my home network from 192.168.2.x 
to 192.168.1.x... which wasn't a problem until I dialed in, and 
suddenly there were TWO 192.168.1.1 machines.  YUP, that stopped it 
from working right quick, and I spent about 2 hours trying to figure 
something out on the FreeBSD side, when all it was in reality was my 
local IP.
