If you're setup as COM2 then is /dev/cua1.  The easiest way I've found
is to use minicom to open the connection and login, then start your ppp
program, shell out of minicom and start pppd with it's options and then
kill off minicom.  If you authenticate with CHAP or PAP, ie. don't need
to login with a prompt, you will have to use chat, which isn't all that
bad.
