as far as i know internal modems dont work with freebsd
i had the same question a few months ago when i started,
and all advice i got was to get an external one, which
i did...

the prob is that the vast majority (if not all) internal
56k pci are what they call winmodems.

however, if u can get of any old internal like 33.6k isa
it's got much more chance to work...

if u wanna solve the prob instantly of course, get an external
56k and forget about it...
