Is it a winmodem? Is it setup correctly in the kernel? Can you manually connect to the modem using tip? Are you using kernel or userland ppp? We can usually help if you supply us with enough information, but you should always consult the documentation at www.freebsd.org first. Also, you shouldn't be using a non-stable release (ie. 3.0) if you are new to FreeBSD.
