Hello,
I would like to be able to access my network remotely via modem
access.

What I am trying to achieve is this. At the office I have a
server, this server is Not connected to the Internet, I need to
be able to Administer it from my Home office, so I am thinking
that I need to access it via a serial modem.
What do I need to do to achieve this.

You need getty(8) or /usr/ports/comms/mgetty+sendfax. Please read

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/dialup.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/userppp.html


This shows how to connect to some other ISP with ppp. I need to setup
MY machine to accept INCOMING PPP, and can't find any doc (though I
could have overlooked it). Pointers to setup of incoming ppp dialin
greatly appreciated.

They point you to the right direction. To accept incoming calls via
phone line, install mgetty+sendfax, and edit config files
in /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax, especially dialin.conf and
login.conf. Besides that, read pppd(8) thoroughly.
