Sorry this cannot be sent using send-pr, the reason should be obvious

System type FreeBSD 2.0  CDROM

CPU  AM80486DX/2 - 80
RAM	16Mb

pppd version 2.1.2


i hav no problem connecting to my Internet service provider, Demon Systems,
however when i start pppd the system crashes with the following message:


( exactly as it appears on the console )


Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address	= 0xf060b000
fault code		= supervisor read, page not present
Instruction pointer	= 0x8:0xf012bf52
code segment		= base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
			= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags	= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process		= 123 (pppd)
interrupt mask		= net tty
panic: page fault


syncing disks ......etc


I have exhausted all the available hardware related problems, different machine
new installation on another disk, alternative i/o cards,
always the same result.
This machine has been running for about 6 months as an ethernet router with no
crashes so it must be something to do with pppd.
