	Here is what my /etc/ppp/options file looks like.  Your modem will 
be different as mine is an external serial modem.  Unfortunately I'm not 
sure how PCMCIA devices go.

# Device used to communicate over. (Serial Port 1)
/dev/tty00
# Ensure exclusive access to /dev/tty00.
lock
# Use hardware flow control.
crtscts
# Set the maximum baud rate.
115200
# Use modem control lines.
modem
# Add a default route to the system routing tables, using the peer as 
the gateway.
defaultroute
# Peer supplys the IP address during IPCP negotiation.
noipdefault
# Read more options from the file /etc/ppp/peers/ubunix
call ubunix
# Require the peer to authenticate before allowing packets to be sent or 
received.
auth

	Here is my /etc/ppp/peers/ubunix file.

# Calls chat(1) to set up the serial line.
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -r /home/ipt/.etc/connect -f 
/etc/ppp/peers/ubunix.chat'
# Do not require the peer (ISP's server) to authenticate.
noauth
# The name used for authenticating the local system to the peer.
user myusername
# pppd(8) logs all control packets through syslog with facility daemon 
and level debug
debug
# allow further debugging to enabled at the kernel level
#kdebug 2

	Here is /etc/ppp/peers/ubunix.chat.  The *70 disables call waiting.

REPORT CONNECT
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
'' ATZ OK ATDT*70,,5155603 CONNECT

	Make sure you have an /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file with the form...

username		* 		password

	Also make sure you add the DNS IP's to /etc/resolv.conf, where 
ip_address is a real IP.

nameserver		ip_address
nameserver		ip_address

	To connect pppd call ubunix, or whatever you call your peer file.

Of course it runs NetBSD
