Rather complicated would be an understatement.  You'd have to
implement modem support in the kernel first.  :-)

The modem is not (repeat _not_) supported by NetBSD.  You can not use
it.  It shouldn't matter if you have one installed, but it will be
utterly ignored.

Anyone having success with using SLIP/PPP have been using the serial
port, not the modem.
