When in doubt I always look at the FreeBSD  or NetBSD web pages for examples.
They are not always directly applicable, but can give you a good starting
point.  Specifically, start with

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook170.html#358

which will give you an idea what needs to be done to set up a dialin
modem connection.  I HAVE NEVER DONE IT MYSELF, but it would seem that
all you need is to set up a ppp user account which will run a connection
script in place of a shell once the dialin modem is setup.  Hope that
helps.
