I don't know anything about  (http://graemlins/bsd.gif)  either.

However, this website might do the trick:

Well, sound card setup is not that hard.  According to page 421 of the FreeBSD handbook (available as PDF), either use kld from the command line or add a line to /boot/loader.conf

for example

snd_emu10k1_load="YES"

see the file /boot/defaults/loader.conf for the listing of sound card modules.

I did this for my experimentation with FreeBSD... it was literally that easy.

Also you can look at the PPP section, but I suspect a tool like KPPP would be alot easier to work with.
