After changing the sysconfig value, did you reboot the box for it to take effect? Also, some folks have recently found out that there are problems with applications on some OS's which can't handle the higher-speed connections that FreeBSD uses, and it assumes it's a really low-speed connection. Doing things like 'stty 9600' seems to speed things up.
