I have been running Freebsd 2.1.5for a couple of years and upgraded to a 
56KB line about a year ago.  I just recently started to experience a 
hanging problem.  Actually, it was happening on a much less frequent bases, 
until recently.  Anyway about every other time I do a scheduled reboot 
the pppd process hangs when attempting to connect to the ISP.  I simply 
hit cntrl-C and try it again and it works.

Configuration:

FreeBSD 2.1.0 connect through a standard asyncronous serial port to a 
DSU/CSU to the ISP's Cicso router.  The line is a 56KB asyncronous line.

Any help would be helpful.

Sincerely,

Dan
