The best tutorial I've seen on this remains <URL:  
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/06/14/FreeBSD_Basics.html>.  3 years  
ago as a newbie it was far easier for me to understand than the Handbook.   
One thing has changed in those 3 years: The user wanting to access the Net  
must be a member of the 'dialer' group.

HTH,
