I have strange proble, PPP and slip stops operating after few days in operation.
If I reboot the FreeBSD machine every thing starts working properly.
I am running FreeBSD 2.0.5.

I have 2 dialin lines and I have few people who used trumpet winsock to dialin.
After dialing in they use Netscape and Eudora like program on their PC.
Every thing works fine initially. After few days in operation (3 days) the
trumpet winsock connects to the FreeBSD box. It gets it IP address from the
FreeBSD box by slip or PPP correctly, but the PC is not able communicate with
FreeBSD box. I have turned on the trace on the trumpet winsock and I do
see message being sent by the PC to the FreeBSD box correctly, but I don't
see any reply from the FreeBSD machine. The most puzzeling is, if I just
reboot the FreeBSD machine every thing starts working normally and correctly.

Is there some bug in the FreeBSD 2.0.5 which I should know?
Is there something I am doing wrong or have set it up wrong?

Thanks for taking time.
