Hi folks

I am trying to install custom made port to use winmodems on FBSD. 
I have used make depends, make, make install process to recompile
my kernel. But I have never installed a port that was not on the 
cdrom. I down loaded this port from  
http://www.gsoft.com.au/~doconnor/ltmdm-port.tgz using my win98 
box, copied it to floppy and then copied it to my FBSD box. 
I tried cd into directory where tar was at and them make install 
gave error message "don't know how to make install. Stop". 
Reading the handbook did not help. 

Is there a commonly used technic to organize the tar files from 
different ports?
Where are these manual kinds of ports suppose to go in the 
directory tree?
I though the make process would open the tar file make all 
the directories needed and do what every the port embedded 
commands said?

What are I doing wrong?
What sequence of commands do I need to enter?


Thanks
