Dial up isn't a high priority for ReactOS, as dial up is going away in the next 5 years or so with the advent of broadband and other meaning of networking but PPPoE will of course still be around a while to come. Here is some research for anyone who is interested in taking it on.
On a basic level I believe (I could be wrong please edit out my mistakes) what you would need is:
- WINSOCK (TCP/IP) - internet --> semi complete
- PPP stack - conn. with ISP --> Exists but not configured for ROS
- WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface - NDIS miniport driver --> not started
- TAPI - Telephone API --> API for dialup
- kernel driver for serial port - COM1 --> semi complete
- Reactos Kernel - Windows compatible OS --> semi complete
