I just setup dosppp06 package with my modems. Here is a pppdrc.cfg that
works with my PCI 56K modem (Note: this one does not have a comport):

base 0xD800
irq 10
namsrv 128.197.27.7
namsrv 128.197.2.62
115200
asyncmap 0
connect "chat -v -f chat.scr"
crtscts

And here is a pppdrc.cfg that works with my external 14.4K modem that is
attached to a serial port (in the same machine), setup as (DOS) COM2 in my
BIOS:

base 0x2F8
irq 3
namsrv 128.197.27.7
namsrv 128.197.2.62
57600
asyncmap 0
connect "chat -v -f chat.scr"
crtscts

I tested these with Arachne in "Connection Ready" and BOOTP protocol.

Michael, COMx in DOS is just a shorthand for specifying IOPORT and IRQ.
Look at a Linux box, there are many /dev/ttySx that can be specified in
all sorts of different ways...

HTH
