[buug] Newbie question

[Thosaka519 at cs.com]

I'm using FreeBSD and trying to connect to the internet via modem.  but so 
far I haven't been able to figure out how to get things configured.  First, 
how can I use the distfiles on the cdrom to install programs.  And how do I 
configure my Diamond Supra Express 56K External modem so that I can get to 
the internet?

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
