I can't figure out how to connect my FreeBSD system to my favourite
Internet service provider with SLIP.

My service provider uses dynamic allocation of IP adresses.
you have to connect by modem, get throug a login/password sequence, and 
then the machine tells you "I am 194.2.128.something, you are 
194.2.128.else" and the line gets SLIP.

Can someone give samples of connection scripts I could use, and 
instructions for setting-up all /etc/* files involved 

NB: I also have a local ethernet network numbered 192.168.0.x according 
to RFC1597.

Thanks for help.
