The program you were using in KDE was either a front end to pppd or their own product. What I would do (which is to say is not nessesarilly best for you) is pick up the information on configuring pppd in the bsd handbook. (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook) configure it with the -auto switch and then let it decided when you need to connect to the internet. Yes, I have been having troube with netscape, I dunno if this fix works for 4.5, but for netscape 4.08 you have to install the compatibility libraries for fbsd-2.2.x (compat22) from /stand/sysinstall to make it work properly, I think this is because netscape is using the a.out binaries? Dunno for sure though. Good luck, Patrick.
