Apple Powerbook G4 and some modem doubts

[Israel Miranda]

Hi there guys. I just acquired and used powerbook g4 on ebay, and I've been
planning to install freebsd on my machines for quite sometime.
Does any of you use freebsd on a powerpc machine ?
I'll install it anyway, but I just wonder if there is good support for
freebsd in the ppc platform. I mean, enough programs, I know ppc
architecture is on tyer 2 support, so I am asking if someone has freebsd
installed on a powerpc machine as a primary
operating system and is satisfied with it. Actually I am more worried about
skype because I need it, and maybe some other apps I'll need in the way.
My doubt is to use either freebsd or macos X leopard in my powerbook as
primary OS. At first Macos X leopard seems to have a lot of apps for ppc but
I am a new Macos X user too. Please, no suggestions of installing linux, I
am a long time linux user and I no longer want to use it for my personal
machines.

My second question is about modem support.
My desktop computer is a Pentium 4 478 socket 2.6ghz HT, on a intel D865
PERL motherboard and an intel 537EP modem.
Please recommend me any pci modem that is fully supported, because my modem
has no freebsd driver at all.

Thanks for the help guys.
