It was very easy for me, and should be for you too, if you follow the
right path. I wrote how I did it in
freebsd.cdrom.com:pub/FreeBSD/FAQ/OTHER-FAQS/FreeBSD.slip.dialup.faq
so you can grab it.
By the way, note that the "stty clocal" hack is no longer
necessary---use the /dev/cua0? devices instead of tty0? as mentioned
in the FAQ (I can't edit it now).
For COM3 and COM4, the device files are already there, and if your
modem is on COM1 or COM2, you need to "cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV cua00" (or
01 for COM2) to make the device.
