10.3. Does FreeBSD support SLIP and PPP?
Yes. See the man pages for slattach(8) and/or pppd(8)
if you're using FreeBSD to connect to another site. If you're
using FreeBSD as a server for other machines, look at the man
page for sliplogin(8). You may also want to take a look at
the slip FAQ in:

You can also have a look at the SLIP/PPP/Use PPP sections of the
