Only one slight problem, I needed net access last night so reverted to 4.5 :-( I should have looked at the logs, I realise that now, I was a bit hasty. Modem is an external serial, I have tried opening a connection to it with ppp manually and it worked, so the modem is being seen OK with 4.6. Forgot to mention this as well, the fbsd box is used by two other systems to access the net, one running Debian Woody (serving an smb raid array), which periodically attempts to access the web - I've never got around to finding out what was doing this, I just switched my modem off - and the fbsd box dialled in - I could ping etc from the freebsd box OK but after it disconnected it wouldn't re-dial. This only happened once, and I can't be sure it was the Debian box that triggered it to be fair.
