The dialup feature is old enough that it should be present in the bowels
of BSD login.

At any rate, the login I wrote last year should be adaptable [ hear that
Dave? ] to BSD with little effort and it has dialups and every other known
feature, useful or not ;-).  Look under 'shadow2' or something like that
in the comp.sources.misc archives near you.
