The (set dial) option sends Hayes 'AT' commands to the modem only
for dial out. Totally different situation for dial in to FBSD. In
that case you have to use the Hayes 'AT' commands to setup
The google search system stopped archiving FBSD news groups at the
start of 2002, so google search is useless. The FBSD org site has
an archives search which is very out of date and the format in which
the info is presented makes it next to useless.
This is the best FBSD newsgroup search engine

your modem configuration in the modem's nvram. You have to tell the
modem to go into answer mode
The problem you describe is common in the 4.x versions of FBSD.
I have seen these solutions voiced previously in this list.
1. Check the PC's bios, look for a toggle to disable plug-n-play
function.
2. Check that your PCI card is not in the first or last PCI
