	Does your kernel recognize that your modem is there?
	Is your modem really on `COM1'?  Or is is on `COM2'?
	/dev/cuaa0 and /dev/cuaa1, respectively?

	Have you initialized your modem?  As root and using 
	cu try:

	cu -l /dev/cuaa0

	and when you see that "Connected" string, cut and paste 
	the following into the screen:

		ATE1 Q0 V1 X1 M1 L2 AT&W

	Then try typing something like 

	ATDT5555555

	and listen.  If nothing happens ((you should hear the
	modem dialing 5555555)) on either /dev/cuaa0 or /dev/cuaa1,
	check your handware connections.  If everything looks 
	good you need to return the modem.  Probably a lemon.


	Summary:

	Make sure FBSD sees your modem
	Be certain of its serial port and check your hw connections
	Initialize it with cu -l <device> <cr> AT-string.
	Listen.
	If nothing: likely a  bad modem.

	gary
