Here are the commands you seek.
# Get dynamic IP address from ISP.
set ifaddr 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
enable dns # Gets the ISP's DNS IP address & places them
# in resolv.conf for reference by FBSD.
disable iface-alias # Stop adding old IP address as alias when ppp
# redials because line was lost.
iface clear # Remove all previous IP address
set redial 10 4 # if busy redial 4 times with 10 second pause
You should be using a firewall for NAT instead of doing it in ppp.
