When you get in to the PPP client before issuing the term command to dial
try to add these:

set line  /dev/cuaa0   # This will set your port, cuaa0 is Com1
set line /dev/cuaa1    #This should work for com2.
 set speed 38400
 disable lqr
 deny lqr
 disable pred1         # Some PPP hosts hate Pred1, play with this..
 deny pred1
