ooh! are you dialing in to the FreeBSD webserver or out? Assuming you are
dialing in, is it internal or  external?  

From my experience, external BitsurferPro behaves very differently from
the ISA model.  - As of yet I have not found any Mppp support for ISA on
freeBSD

If you put the reserved class C into the etc/hosts file and ifconfig your
device  properly you should be clear.  But don't expect to be routable
very far // (of course you know this)

hehe, no I have never set up anything like this.  I am trying to help but
I really know nothing about Ascend's ISDN implementations.

The following dialog may be of some help

 yes, though I'm running -current.

 # BitSurfer Pro 56K channels, MultiLink, Livingston Portmaster 2E
 bspro56mllv:
  set debug phase chat lcp lqm
  set device /dev/cuaa0
  set speed 115200
  set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\"
AT&F&C1&D3%A4=1@B0=2%A2=95 OK-AT-OK \\dATD\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
######### AT&F&C1&D2\Q3%A2=95@B0=2%A4=0 
  deny lqr
  disable lqr
  disable pred1
  deny pred1
  set timeout 0
  set phone 18006145600&18006145600
  accept chap
  set authname MYAUTHNAME
  set authkey MYKEY
  set ifaddr 0 0
  set openmode active
  dial
  add 0 0 HISADDR
  
 The change required to support 64K channels is trivial.
