As in:

        http://www.de.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/#ppp 

but replace local_ip_address:remote_ip_address by 
        : ipcp_accept_local ipcp_accept_remote

Using
        : noipdefault
 might be enough... the ipcp_accept_XXX are there to allow overiding the
 addresses specified by you.

if you use the standard MAKEDEV script to create your device nodes in /dev/, 
com0 is ttyC0 / dtyC0 and com1 is ttyC1 / dtyC1.
