I dial in to my company using modem and userland ppp. The config runs OK on the 4.9 box, but on the 5.2 it never "lifts the phone off the hook" so to say. I've checked the examples in /usr/share/examples/ppp to see it there are any news in the config. I haven't found anything different from what I've got.

I'm using a Banksia MyModem 56V external serial modem with user PPP on
-CURRENT to connect to a commercial ISP (iPrimus). This is the config
file I'm using; the only interesting difference between mine and yours
seem to be in the "set dial" line. I think mine is based on an example
from an old edition of the FreeBSD handbook.

default:
 #set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set speed 115200
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
           \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
 set timeout 18000 # 5 hours
 allow user xxx
 allow user xxx
 set urgent +xxx
 set urgent +xxx
 nat port tcp x.x.x.x:xxx xxx
 nat port udp x.x.x.x:xxx xxx
 nat port tcp x.x.x.x:xxx xxx
 set server +xxx xxx

iprimus:
 set phone "9923-2000"
 set authname xxx
 set authkey xxx

 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 add default HISADDR			# Add a (sticky) default route

The serial port is:
sio0 port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on acpi0
sio0: type 16550A
