Thanks for all the replies (and so prompt too - very impressive).
All things considered maybe it is my chipset that's to blame - although I've used different machines it's always been a BX440 chipset, so maybe I'll see what happens with a different motherboard. I'll look into taking down then bringing up the USB sub system, I used to do that with Linux, but as yet I don't know how to do that with FreeBSD (I'll ask in one of their newsgroups) - Francois' suggestion is interesting though. I hadn't simply tried issuing the ppp command again without the modem_run; I'll try that first before looking at the USB sub system.
