 >Start with the basics

Exactly!
Here you go:

plip0: flags=8851<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
    inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
    inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
    inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2

On FreeBSD, I've been trying to use the Sysinstall menus.
The modem is currently in the PCMCIA slot and I am in an area with WiFi 
access. Also in a PCMCIA slot is a card which is a USB2 hub.
