Make sure "gateway" is set to YES in /etc/rc.conf (or /etc/sysconfig)
and set the dialing side up so that it makes your FreeBSD box its
default route.

Hmmm, there should be no problems here. I'd suggest putting some
diagnostics in ModemTimeout() in modem.c - this function checks
carrier on the modem. I'm assuming you're cabled properly.
Failing this, you can always "enable LQR".
