I'd suggest minicom (Telix clone), but....  It compiles fine and looks 
like it's going to work.  Then you fire it up (after pointing it at 
modem, etc) and it just sits there looking at you like, "Well, come on 
stupid cant you even use a little simple comms program like me?"

BTW, I believe there has been some success getting minicom to work on
FreeBSD.
