That's a good start!

Probably true.

A number of folks have done this. There's a firewall kit at puma
(ftp.macbsd.com) describes how to set that part up.

Good.

Look at the man pages on ppp and pppd. Something like pppd tty01 38400 crtscts
should work fine. But look at the man pages.

The one thing which will need to be changed in the ppp scripts which I
put at puma is that the code to see if ppp is up looks for pppd. It
should look at the tty lock file (as otherwise the to-windows ppp will keep
the modem ppp from coming up).

Take care,
