I'm sorry, but what is a "typical ISP"?

For example, where are the modems that people are dialling in to?  Directly
on a FreeBSD box?  On a terminal server networked to a FreeBSD box?

Are you running a routing protocol of some sort?  What is it?

How do you start PPP/SLIP for the dialins?  Is it done from their login
scripts, or are you using something else?
