I used Motorola BitSurfer before.  It's a nice product.
There were two steps:

1. Connected the modem to ISDN line and Window computer.
Configured all the ISDN parameters through the configuration
software came with the modem.  Tested the Internet
connection using Windows Dial-up Networking
2. Moved the modem to the FreeBSD computer, treated it as a
standard modem.  Followed the handbook and Tutorials to
setup user ppp (iijppp). It worked!

You may need to pay attention to the modem initializing
string.  I used "&F1&C1&D2" for 56K connection and
"&F1&C1&D2%A4=0" for 64K connection in US.  I don't know
what to use in Europe.
