I just did a minimal install(just the bin files)  of FreeBSD rel 2.1 into 
an AT&T Globalyst laptop computer and I want FreeBSD to recognize my U.S. 
Logic PCMCIA 28.8 modem so I can install the rest of FreeBSD via modem.

I tried finding information on whether FreeBSD supports PCMCIA modems and 
from what I can piece together it supports some of them.  I need to know 
whether it supports my modem and how would I go about getting FreeBSD to 
recognize it.
