Do you have this modem set up to do the PPPoE dialing for you? In Windows,
do you have to use any software to connect, or is the connection made
automatically. It appears you have your modem set up in routing mode,
which means the modem most likely does the authentication to your ISP for
you.

I have a strong suspicion that you do not even need to use ppp on the
FreeBSD box.

If your modem contains the login info for the ISP, just set up your
/etc/rc.conf file with the following:

ifconfig_nic="DHCP"

and then run:

# /etc/netstart

You *should* get your info from the router (modem) and should be up and
surfing.

If that doesn't work, provide more info on your setup, including the
output of 'ipconfig' on the windows machine.
