typically you need a ppp config file and a chat script.
Maybe compuserve provide them ? such files for linux can be tweacked for NetBSD
without much trouble.
You may also want to have a look at the pppd(8) and chat(8) man pages.

Well, you want to use it as a proxy, rigth ? You need to put a line
ProxyRequests on
in your httpd.conf file.
You may also want to uncomment and tweak the Cache* directives.
