Have a look at my bsd-dip. At the moment it supports SLIP and CSLIP
is ported from Linux to NetBSD, but I think it will work on FreeBSD
as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
DIP is mainly a tool to establish a SLIP connection. It handles all
the necessary actions to set up the tty port and the modem, dial out
and finally build up a SLIP connection between the tty port and the
kernel. To do so, dip offers an own very simple command language (a
mostly complete description can be found in the man page).
Dip can handle both incoming and outgoing connections using password
security for incoming connections.
This dip version was ported from Linux to NetBSD, although it will
work on other BSDish systems as well.
It can be found at this site (anonymous ftp):
