If you look at the entries for 'sio' devides in the GENERIC config (/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC), you'll see that sio0 -- sio3 are all configured, but that sio2 and sio3 are 'disabled'. In principle you should be able to change the sio2 entry to 'enabled' and then (maybe) configure the modem card to use the appropriate IRQ and port if it doesn't work automatically. The 'pnpinfo' command is invaluable in debugging this sort of thing. You can switch sio2 to enabled without having to recompile the kernel by the boot time configurator (boot -c from the boot loader prompt --- same thing you go into at the first stages of doing an install). I did have a 'PnP' internal modem once that insisted on trying to install itself as sio4 unless I completely deleted the sio2 and sio3 entries from the kernel config. Took me a while and a bit of head scratiching before I worked that one out.
