a minor p.s. to my notes, I forgot this line for the mgetty login.conf:
/AutoPPP/ - - /etc/ppp/ppp-pap-dialup
which is crucial to making this work. Also, you may have to edit /etc/passwd manually to get it to accept a shell not listed in /etc/shells.
Otherwise, I reinstalled 5.3 on a new drive today and the dialin seemed to work.... EXCEPT that I had changed my home network from 192.168.2.x to 192.168.1.x... which wasn't a problem until I dialed in, and suddenly there were TWO 192.168.1.1 machines. YUP, that stopped it from working right quick, and I spent about 2 hours trying to figure something out on the FreeBSD side, when all it was in reality was my local IP.
