I do.

I have a Magnum-brand internal 14.4 fax/modem.  I set the jumpers on
the card for COM3 and IRQ5, as I already have COM1 and COM2 on IRQs 4
and 3 on the motherboard, and my system doesn't support COM/IRQ
sharing.

The generic, ``out of the box'' FreeBSD kernel detects it properly and
works with it just fine.  I have a getty running on /dev/ttyd2 you can
call into; I can tip to /dev/cua02; and I use occasional PPP on
/dev/cau02.  All at 115200bps.
