Lonnie and Tom thank you for your replies.
I modified /mnt/kd/rc.conf as suggested by adding MODOPTS="wctdm:debug=1" After rebooting, the /etc/rc.conf file has soaked up the change as expected. There was still no change to /etc/modprobe.conf. Debugging was not enabled. I verified this by making calls whilst tailing /var/log/messages. If I set /sys/module/wctdm/parameters/debug to contain "1" (by typing 'echo 1 > debug') debugging is turned on and I get log entries when a call is started or stopped over PSTN. The problem with this is obviously that sys is not persistent and I need a solution which is sticky. Any suggestions gratefully received.
