As the other posting suggested, you can install the source tree and the ports collection from your CD set (if FreeBSD is already installed, you can do that either by re-running sysinstall or by mounting the cdrom, locating the appropriate package (src-something.tgz and ports-something.tgz) and installing them with "pkg_add -v". Keeping your src and ports tree in sync should not be a problem with your modem link. I used to do that with a 56K modem: Upgrading the source tree for example to about 30 min (from one release to another). Downloading the source tar balls for the ports collection might be a pain on the other side, but you can always go to the directory of the desired ports and type: make fetch-recursive-list > /tmp/tarballs.sh When you execute that script on a machine with a fast internet connection, it will download all the needed files. All you have to do then is to copy them into /usr/ports/distfiles on the other machine.
