> 28800 USR Modem
^^^^^

I hope this isn't a US Robotics Winmodem. Useless in FreeBSD.
Forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong, but there are loads of acronyms and abbreviations
I'm never quite sure about :(

A few important details about your setup isn't mentioned. How are you connected to the
Internet / ISP ? For instance, ppp? Do you have FreeBSDinstalled and working on
this system of yours? Can you ping someone ? ( My favourite question :) )
The Internet server is easy. It already is an internet server, provided that you can conect
to the internet successfully. To have a web server, you have to install apache. To have
anonymous ftp, see man ftpd.
For a gateway/router, you have to edit /etc/sysconfig and set the options accordingly.
See man sysconfig and man routed. You'll probably want to set the pc up as a
nameserver as well, so see man named and sysconfig.
If you want more help, you'll have to give more details. Have a look at the handbook
under /usr/share/doc/handbook, which is really excellent :)
Good luck
