Well,
It wouldn't be that much amount of work since PPP is already above the hardware/driver layer: it's a protocol. It therefore means we can simply pick the source code for a Linux ppp-enabled dialer such as wvdial and adapt it for ReactOS.
Not really, you are forgetting RAS and all the other services/features which windows provides. It would be a brute and ugly approache, imo, so simply copy a Linux dialer.
After that, all that remains is to finish art yerkers' serial library in order to enable usage of at least non-winmodems (for example serial port modems) and little touchups (such as writing modem initialization scripts etc until the control is passed to ppp).
The big work (this can be deffered from the 0.3 release) will be to implement WinModem driver support which is definitely compulsory for ReactOS since most windows users that connect through an internal modem have a winmodem.
