Hello all,
I had successfully installed a STANDARD installation
of FreeBSD 4.3

My kernel is GENERIC. I have not compiled it yet.

I then connected an EXTERNAL modem (Creative Blaster
56K V.90).

Q1: How do I get FreeBSD to recognize this modem?
Q2: How do I dial up? How do I connect to the
INternet?
    (what is the equivalent of DIAL_UP connections
here)

I searched the HANDBOOK and FAQ in vain.
I hope I have not asked a repeat question. If so
please refer me to a specific section of the handbook
/ other documentation.

Thanks for your time.
