This is a modem problem, not a FreeBSD problem. My guess is that your ISP is using Livingston/Lucent PortMasters, which emit a short tone upon connection (referred to as a v.80 tone, I think), and some modems trip on it. The solution is to add some commas after the dial string or phone number to force the modem to wait a few seconds before listening.
