Which one? You need to specifiy modem brand/model and network provider to see if other have got that particular one working. Also check the Linux crowd (Ubuntu in particular) and then extrapolate to FBSD. > Someone can point me to a recent document detailing the steps.

If it's popular and supported it's pretty easy, if not is still possible. Supporting the modem is usually a two layer problem first solving the multi-device problem on the USB bus, that is, selecting the correct device available (i.e. selecting the modem instead of the flash that contains the windows software), and then the actual kernel or userspace driver for that specific device (ZTE, Enfora, etc.). Ultimately, you get a serial modem and you just have to use AT command to dial, etc. and wvdial does a great job and it's quite easy to set-up and run.
