Hi,

This is a good starting point for you:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ppp-and-slip.html

and

/usr/share/examples/ppp

I personally stay away from USB (ADSL) modems. I prefer the ones that
connect through Ethernet and support half or full bridge mode.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Mikhail.
