If you need full PPP or SLIP it shouldnt be too evil to do with that tunnel driver with freebsd. If you dont need full ppp or slip, say if you will be using netscape, ftp and the like and not the facier iphone kind of thing, or if they just wont give you an ip address to use for this - you could use tia or slirp which make you look like the box you call up.
