You want to follow the example in the handbook to make the FreeBSD machine with the modem your gateway. You may also want to look into Samba, but I think you can only share file systems and printers with it. I assume you're wanting to run a third party windows program that needs the modem. The only way I've found to do so is to either get another modem, or try to run it under BOCHS on the FreeBSD machine.
