I have found a lot of material on setting up ppp.conf and its friends. But
have been less fortunate in my search for information on configuring an
internal modem. I have run dmesg and at lp0 there is a TCP/IP capable
interface is this my card? If not what should I be looking for? Should I have
the BIOS set to plug and play capable OS, it is at the moment?
Also I have a AGP video card with a S3 86C365 (at boot it calls it 8904)
chip, however BSD seems to skip it as it supports almost ever other S3 but
mine, is there somewhere I can download a driver for it? And how do I put it
in?

I am new to this game and finding it difficult to find sights with good
relevant information, so if you know of any please feel free to list them.
