Maybe no one ever mentioned it. I don't think these problems are hardware specific because these sudden reboots happen not only my 486-100, but also on the 386-40. The system just rebooted all by itself while I was composing a message. Here's a copy of the ps ax. paradise: {11} ps ax PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 0 ?? DLs 0:00.00 (swapper) 1 ??

I use pppd to connect to my service provider. In the past using the snaps, the system had a tendency to reboot if I killed pppd, added a route with the route add command when routed was running, or when there was net access remotely. I switched to gated on the SNAPs, and those reboots dropped significantly. I think the reboot problem has something to do with the ppp code. I never saw reboots with slip. Sometimes with an open PPP connection using pppd, the system would automatically reboot. Has anyone had these problems? I guess if I don't mention them, they may never get fixed. :-( Thanks in advance for any help.
