a minor p.s. to my notes, I forgot this line for the mgetty login.conf:
/AutoPPP/ - - /etc/ppp/ppp-pap-dialup
which is crucial to making this work. Also, you may have to edit
/etc/passwd manually to get it to accept a shell not listed in
/etc/shells.
Otherwise, I reinstalled 5.3 on a new drive today and the dialin seemed
to work.... EXCEPT that I had changed my home network from 192.168.2.x
to 192.168.1.x... which wasn't a problem until I dialed in, and
suddenly there were TWO 192.168.1.1 machines. YUP, that stopped it
from working right quick, and I spent about 2 hours trying to figure
something out on the FreeBSD side, when all it was in reality was my
local IP.
