I'm not sure how all ISPs do it, but one thing I've seen is for the ISP to =
have a modem pool to which customers dial up.  This modem pool uses the rad=
ius protocol to authenticate connecting users.  The ISP will run radiusd on=
 one of their servers (Maybe the FreeBSD box in this case).  radiusd can be=
 configured to authenticate off of it's own password file, /etc/passwd, etc=
, etc.
