These are the instructions from a Debian howto;

Configuration (dialin)

Here are steps that I did configuring my system.

1. Create new group ppp, for this you need to edit file /etc/group and add this line on the end of file:

ppp:x:1001:

2. Create new system user for dialin connection pppuser: Simple create new system user and when using shell command vipw change line of user pppuser to this:

pppuser:x:1001:1001:,,,:/home/pppuser:/usr/sbin/ppplogin

3. Create new file /usr/sbin/ppplogin:

#!/bin/sh
#/etc/ppp/ppplogin
# PPP login script
mesg n
stty -echo
exec /usr/sbin/pppd -detach modem debug crtscts

In the above you need create new users in /home and then configure as per step 2 replacing pppuser with their user name
