ok, I got this far, now I get these errors when I tried it:

Sep 30 18:47:06 the pppd[104]: pppd 2.1.1 started by root, uid0
Sep 30 18:47:06 the pppd[105]: ioctl (TIOCSCTTY): Operation not permitted
Sep 30 18:47:06 the pppd[105]: ioctl (TIOCSCTTY): Operation not permitted
Sep 30 18:47:06 the pppd[105]: ioctl (TIOCSCTTY): Operation not permitted

I also tried just to use seyon to dial up my provider and it says that 
tty00 is a locked device and it could'nt be opened.  What do I need to do 
to that?  I know that /etc/ttys has this entry for tty00:

tty00     "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown on secure        # int. 
serial.

I think it has something to do with the protection on tty00 the directory 
listing is this:

0 crw-------  1 root  wheel   12,   0 Sep 30 18:40 tty00

Any suggestions?
TIA
