Could you verify the presence of the cuau* file in /dev?
Maybe you can post the essential parts of your ppp.conf
as well as significant changes to your kernel (in case
you're not using the GENERIC kernel; check "device uart"),
and /boot/loader.conf?

And finally, can you show the _full_ error message that
you receive, maybe also informational parts of the ppp
log file?

What steps of diagnosis and testing could you already
accomplish (with which results)?
