User PPP (man ppp) is a billion times easier to setup than kernel, plus it's got a ton of good features (NAT, packet filtering, etc.). I would set that up, if I were you. There are example setup files in /usr/share/examples/ppp. Plus, there's a good tutorial on setting it up at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/index.html. I used it with my external ISDN terminal adapter (looked like a regular modem from the perspective of the computer) and set it up for demand-dialing. It was very cool. "David J.
