I have one idea about this. You've said that machine acts as a dialup server. What kind of ppp do you use: kernel (devices ppp + process pppd) or user (devices tun + process ppp)? It seems to me that kernel ppp is seriously broken in RELENG_6, but I've never succeeded in getting a crashdump (my otherwise stable home machine just reboots from time to time when I use kernel ppp), so for now I've just switched to user ppp. Sincerely, Dmitry -- Atlantis ISP, System Administrator e-mail: dmitry@atlantis.dp.ua nic-hdl: LYNX-RIPE
