Here's a hint for the serial devices: /dev/cuaa0 = COM1 /dev/cuaa1 = COM2 You'll have to check the boot messages (run dmesg) to see if they were all found. Then use `set device /dev/device' in ppp to change the modem, then use `term' to drop to terminal mode and ensure you can talk with the modem. See http://www.freebsd.org/~brian/userppp.html for hints.
