What do you want to do?

If you want to dial up a PPP connection to your ISP, then have a look at
the pppd and chat commands.

Have a look at

 http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/#ppp

 http://www.bsdtoday.com/2000/July/Features237.html

 The NetBSD Guide

 man pages

 And other docs on the net (for example, Debian pppd is the same; FreeBSD
 ppp is different.)

Good luck,
