You MUST download the handbook and FAQ too. Internet, man ppp, look for a
ppp.conf file and change it a little bit for your needs. It used to sit in
/etc/ppp, thats the place where it must be anyway, to find the file:

find / -name "ppp.conf*"

Lan things are very readable explained in the "Pedantic PPP Primer", 
www.freebsd.org.....

There is a book, Greg Lehey, "The complete FreeBSD".

fetchmail and pine, from the package collection, to be installed with
pkg_add <filename>, was a start for me, you will want to have sendmail,
see the FAQ about sendmail and dynamic IP.

Ah, I dont know if you need PPP or are allready connected.....

You need the kernel sources for your audio, see the handbook.

Hope it helps.
