Okay, makes sense. I snag a copy form my OS X box. Move it over to the darwin box.
Now that should take care of tcp/ip -- ppp.

You'll have to modify some things, of course...if you see any MAC addresses in preferences.xml make sure to change them to match the Darwin box's ethernet card! Check the path to the modem script, too, that's in there.

Now how do I start a/the dial up?

Here's the deal: you can set it in preferences.xml to force dial-up whenever TCP/IP is in demand. But if you want to dial on your own, I'm guessing that SystemConfiguration generates PPP scripts for you when it initializes at boot time; these would appear in /etc/ppp/peers. Then you can dial using the command:

[darwinbox %] pppd call <name>

where name is the file listed in /etc/ppp/peers. (the man page for pppd contains a TON of information, that's where I found the dial command)

Let me know if any of this works.
