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,
