It has been a while since I set this up, but it is really simple. I made the following changes to my /etc/ttys file:
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on secure
I attached two modems, one to each serial port on my motherboard. I then dumped two files into /etc/ppp:
options.ttyd0 options.ttyd1
Each file contains two ip addresses, one for the server (modem) side, and one assigned to the dial up user e.g. 192.168.114.1:192.168.114.2 <<== contents of options.ttyd0 192.168.114.3:192.168.114.4 <<== contents of options.ttyd1
The only semi hard part was getting the 192.168 address added back into my firewall and NAT so user could go out on the internet, but it only took a few minutes of looking at the ipfw logs for rejected packets to get it figured out. Basically, I had to set the dial up client's DNS and that was it. You will also need to SIGHUP init to get it to reread the ttys file.
HTH, Gene
