I'm trying to install FreeBSD 1.1.5.1.  I've installed the three
floppies, and now I'd like to get SLIP running and FTP the rest of the
distribution.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to dial out.  I have a USR
Sportster 14.4 internal on port 0x2e8, IRQ 5.  FreeBSD detects my
other serial ports when it boots, but doesn't seem to notice this one.

What steps do I need to take to access my modem?

Sorry for posting what certainly must be a frequently asked question,
but it's not mentioned in any of the (sparse) documentation on
ftp.cdrom.com.
