You need to have lines like these in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf:

 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
 set phone 12345678

The string specified in "set dial" is actually a chat(8) script. See the
man page. Maybe you'll have to adjust the AT... sequences and the modem
responses that are expected.  Also make sure your modem is properly set up.
See the FreeBSD handbook for this.
