/etc/ppp/ppp.conf
If you are lucky you can google your ISP and find a
ppp.conf already set up, edit the entries in it
(as well as name,pasword as necc.)
(change the log level to "local" might help, error messages
go onscreen rather than just to a file).
to point to the FreeBSD serial device (may vary
depending upon BSD version), make sure a
firewall is in place, and test it.
In v5 bsd, I had that set up in about two weeks.
in tty0, after issuing "at" commands at the ppp
prompt, "ath ... " "dial..." etc, the ppp.conf would
work in the background
The prompt would change
ppp
ppP
pPP
PPP
the last three would mean a connection.
then I would switch to another terminal
(alt-f2)
and be online.
(That is how I remember it anyway).
(That isp, before the "world wide web", no longer
is an isp for dialup AFAIK in the same manner.)
