FreeBSD dialin server

I set up a 4.x box to do this for three modems awhile back and while I 
didn't write down how I did it, here's the various config files which I 
hope will help.  Seems I never learn to write it down while I'm doing it 
:)

- Installed mgetty+sendfax from ports.

- /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config looks like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
port cuaa1
debug 9
fax-id 00 00 000000
speed 115200
direct NO
blocking NO
port-owner uucp
port-group uucp
port-mode 0660
toggle-dtr YES
toggle-dtr-waittime 500
data-only YES
fax-only NO
modem-type auto
init-chat "" ATS0=0Q0&D3&C1 OK
modem-check-time 3600
rings 1
answer-chat "" ATA CONNECT \c \r
answer-chat-timeout 80
autobauding NO
ringback NO
ringback-time 30
ignore-carrier false
issue-file /etc/issue
prompt-waittime 500
login-prompt @!login:
login-time 240
diskspace 1024
notify faxadmin
fax-owner uucp
fax-group modem
fax-mode 0660
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config looks like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
/AutoPPP/ -     -       /etc/ppp/AutoPPP.sh
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- /etc/ttys has this addition (remember I have three internal PCI modems):

--------------------------------------------------------------------
ttyd4   "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 115200"      dialup on insecure
ttyd5   "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 115200"      dialup on insecure
ttyd6   "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 115200"      dialup on insecure
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- The /etc/ppp directory looks like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   46 Apr 20 12:57 AutoPPP.sh*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  258 Apr 20 11:48 ppp-shell.sh*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  486 Apr 21 10:22 ppp.conf
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- AutoPPP.sh:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct $DEVICE
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- ppp-shell.sh:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

IDENT=`echo $0 | sed -e 's/^.*-\(.*\)$/\1/'`
CALLEDAS="$IDENT"
TTY=`tty`

if [ x$IDENT = xdialup ]; then
     IDENT=`basename $TTY`
fi


echo "PPP for $CALLEDAS on $TTY"
echo "Starting PPP for $IDENT"

exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct $IDENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- ppp.conf:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
default:
   set device /dev/cuaa1
   set log TCP/IP Chat Connect Phase Command Warnin Error Alert
   set speed 115200
   set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK
             ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
   set timeout 120
   disable ipv6cp
   enable passwdauth
   accept dns
   set dns 10.28.61.20
   enable proxy
   allow users philip

ttyd4:
   set ifaddr 10.28.61.51 10.28.61.52

ttyd5:
   set ifaddr 10.28.61.53 10.28.61.54

ttyd6:
   set ifaddr 10.28.61.55 10.28.61.56
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- I added gateway_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf

- I also added a ppp user.  Or maybe mgetty did.  /etc/passwd line looks 
like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
ppp:*:1003:1003:PPP User:/local/home/ppp:/etc/ppp/ppp-shell.sh
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- I am pretty sure that the "allow users philip" line in ppp.conf was just 
from testing.

I think that was all I did...

Anyway, hope this helps you out...
