I presume you mean "just like BSD" which is not at all the same thing.

Network strategy?  All the networking is the same as it ever was, it's
just being configured via a different interface.  It now uses a sysv
style set of rc scripts, which is more flexible.  The scripts in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rcX.d are run when changing into runlevel X.  Try
reading the manpages for init/inittab, looking at /etc/init and following
things from there.

Same way you did before, I'd imagine.  Try reading the Serial and Network
HOWTOs, and the manpages for pppd.
