Thanks in advance for any advice :)

Wake on LAN is a feature that you will have to enable in your BIOS, if
it is available. It could not be affected by ACPI/APM (or any other
Operating System feature) once the computer is no longer powered up. In
regards to what you need to suspend after x mins, I am unsure.

From http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/errata.html

(2005/11/5) Distribution of 6.0-RELEASE contains CHECKSUM.MD5 and 
CHECKSUM.SHA256 files for protecting the integrity of data. However, 
these files in 6.0-RELEASE erroneously include checksums for the 
checksum files themselves. Although the checksums look like wrong, they 
can be safely ignored because a checksum for the checksum file never 
corresponds to one in the file. This problem will be fixed in the next 
releases.


Well, looks like it was 6.0 that I was referring to, however, if you 
have had the same issue with 6.1 from 2 different locations (unless your 
connection and TCP/IP protocol is dodgy), I would think that maybe they 
did not resolve this issue.

Adrian
