That last one's pending a repair and os installs currently runs w98.
I'd like to move the gateway from my xp workstation to the fbsd box. This raises a bunch of questions for me:
1. is there a CLI query to let me find the speed of the currently installed modem?
2. besides plugging my phone line into the fbsd modem and moving my xp hosts file to /etc/hosts, what else is needed? e.g. how do I setup the isp connection and the fbsd equivalent of window's internet connection service?

I suggest you read the handbook for dialup connections, specifically the section titled "Using User PPP". As usual, there are many ways to accomplish this task, but this is probably the easiest to set up.
I would recommend avoiding natd, and using userland ppp with the -nat option instead. I run
my wife's Winbox (and my laptop) out through a FBSD 5.3 machine that calls "ppp -nat -background myisp"....
The handbook's section on PPP was quite helpful to me, and is really a must in this instance.
