Many thanks. Your pointers were most helpful. As the quickest and dirtiest option, I tried copying the 'ppp' binary from the 4.4-STABLE system - which worked fine. I added the one line enable tcpmssfixup to my ppp.conf file, and everything worked. I can now access the URLs that were previously broken. OK, now I have to find the time to upgrade the gateway machine...
