> Hello, is there a TCP/IP dialer available for FreeBSD?

No.  TCP and IP do not define dialing, so there is no such thing as a
TCP/IP dialer.  If you mean a dialup IP link, yes, there are several.
Look for the PPP and SLIP implementations.

If this isn't what you're talking about, could you please explain what
you want to do?
