As far as I know, only Lucent and IBM mWave(tm) WinModems(tm) work on FreeBSD. Both require added software. Unless you have an older IBM ThinkPad, it's not likely that the mWave is relevant, but if so, see /usr/ports/comms/mwavem. I'm still waiting for a commit of my last update, so it will require a minor edit to the Makefile to work. There is also a driver for the Lucent WinModem(tm) available. Check the archives, as I don't have a bookmark for it. There is an effort to get the Lucent driver into the base system, but it's tricky because the basic kernel module is distributed by Lucent only as a binary for Linux and that has been "shimmed" to load with FreeBSD.
