The setup is a bare bones CLI mode FreeBSD 3.2 in an old Pentium 100 with 32Mb RAM working as a gateway / router on a permanent dialup modem connection. Everything seems to work fine until I leave the house, when the box just freezes. I can change virtual consoles but other than that the keyboard fails to do anything, and pings from other machines on the LAN don't work either. The modem is a Hayes Optima 33600. A while back I had to change the modem at the dialin end (which also runs FreeBSD) from a Hayes Optima to an old $20 "el junko" WebExcel after the Hayes one repeatedly locked up .... does anyone know of issues with FreeBSD & Hayes modems that might be of releevance here ??
