Put this in your /etc/remote file:

	modem:dv=/dev/cua01:br#57600:pa=none

Use cuaa1 if you're running FreeBSD 2.0.5.  And use whatever bps rate
works for `br#'.  Then type

	tip modem

and use AT commands to dial.  Also see the FAQ entry on serial
communications at

	http://www.freebsd.org:80/How/faq/freebsd-faq-66.html#66

or get the file via ftp

	ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/Text/FreeBSD.FAQ

It's pretty good (but then again, I wrote it, so my opinion shouldn't
count :-)  It'll tell you how to set up your /etc/remote and
/etc/phones so you can type things like `tip netcom' and get it to
work.

Why do there have to be rules for everything? It's gotten to the point
that rules dominate just about every aspect of our lives. In fact, it
might be said that rules have become the foot-long sticks of mankind.
