Martin,

I found it by far easier to set up sppp (kernel-level) than ppp and
auto-dialing works very well with it, too. (you'll need to compile in
sppp support if you haven't done already).
See /usr/share/examples/isdn/ for an good example of isdnd.rc + sppp
setup.
Dynamic IPs is a bit tricky, I found that

# ifconfig isp0 inet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 link1 up

worked well, and you'll have to add a default route like this

# route add default -interface isp0

hope that helps,

thomas
