Have a look at /usr/share/doc/FAQ/freebsd-faq.html /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html (paragraph 11) and at older articles in this newsgroups. It depends e.g. on what your ISP offers (SLIP or PPP), whether you use a modem or ISDN, ... you should try it by yourself and ask more specific questions (giving more details, please) when (sorry, if :-) ) you get stuck.
