What kind of "isdn modem" do you have? If it is one which has a built-in 
AT command set and perhaps a PPP stack (like e.g. some ZyXEL ISDN TA's 
have), you don't need ISDN4BSD.

There is one version of I4B installed on the system, but that one has 
different features than the one HPS provides.

What do you like to do with your "modem"? Give us some more informatio, 
which software you like to use with it and the like.

Anyway, if you like to install it and if it is one of the ISDN cards 
supported by the I4B-Stack by HPS, then you should get the most recent 
version by Subversion. Subversion can be installed as a package/port.

svn --username anonsvn --password anonsvn checkout 
svn://svn.turbocat.net/i4b

You'll then find a README with the installation instructions. What it 
does is, install itself into the kernel source tree, so you need at 
least the kernel source on your machine. Next you have to get the 
required device configuration into the kernel configuration file, which 
is located under /usr/src/sys/i386/conf if you run a 32bit version of 
FreeBSD. After that you are ready to compile the kernel and install it, 
if all goes to plan.
