This link was very helpful in helping me get going. http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp.html Hopefully it will be the same for you.

It's working well so far, and I am almost ready to re-install my system using only FreeBSD. Before I can do that, however, I need to find out how on earth I can connect my PC to my ISP so that I can surf the net and check my e-mail (these two functions are the only use that I currently have for Windows NT). > My modem is configured, and using the ppp command and then typing dial ISP I can get a dial tone, but I can't get my modem to dial.
