Thanks Manuel & Jaromir ( dunno how to get the correct char for the 'i' in your
name :- )

I actually added a ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" in
/etc/rc.conf
And commented out the relevant part which was spitting out the -m to pppoe as
$CLAMPMSS in /usr/sbin/adsl-connect

But I still get this misconfiguration message...
Do I have to do a ifconfig for /dev/ttyp0 ? I will try it in a moment .

Thanks
