For PnP support, you need to have FreeBSD 2.2.6.
1. If you don't have 2.2.6, see if the modem came with a program to
   hardwire its resources.
2. If you do have FreeBSD 2.2.6, configure a new kernel with 
   controller    pnp0
   boot with this kernel. You can use "pnpinfo" to find out some
   information about the pnp devices you have. This will let you know
   what LSN and CSN. Mine says:

bandersnatch# pnpinfo
Checking for Plug-n-Play devices...

Card assigned CSN #1
Vendor ID DAV0001 (0x01003610), Serial Number 0x00000295
PnP Version 1.0, Vendor Version 16
Device Description: DAVICOM 336PNP MODEM
...

etc

Now reboot, and at the boot prompt use a "-c" to configure the
kernel. Use "help" to show you how to set the resources for the pnp
modem. Set the irq and port to be the same as the com port (sioX) at
which you want it.
