The *BSD world, & especially the OpenBSD community, frowns on tutorial information found in the wild as it is frequently old, out-of-date, incomplete, or simply incorrect. The best place for tutorial information is the FAQ itself. Section 6.5 of the FAQ covers userland PPP configuration. Start here. If you are game for configuring the kernel pppd(8) daemon, start with Section 6.5 followed by studying the manpages.
