I believe your alcatel speedtouch (although I have never
seen one) isn't a modem, but a router. So you don't have
to mess around with ppp . You simply set it as default
gateway and dns server in /stand/sysinstall --> Configure
--> Networking --> Interfaces --> and select you NIC.
Or - if you prefer this - have a look at your Complete
FreeBSD and edit /etc/rc.conf manually.
