The following seems to work well for me -- your mileage may vary...

 *** From /etc/ppp/ppp.conf ***
default:
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set speed 115200
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1M0Q0
OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
#
netcom:
 set phone <whatever>
 set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: #your_userid word your_password"
 set timeout 12000
 set ifaddr 0 163.179.104/0


 *** From /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup ***
netcom:
 delete ALL
 add 0 0 HISADDR


 *** From /etc/resolv.conf ***
