Just a stability data point. The system is a Amd5x86, ASUS SP3G (ncr SCSI), 32MB. I'm not sure whether the isdn code in the kernel (which is to be replaced soon by the new 'bisdn' release from Hellmuth Michaelis, Gary Jennejohn, Arne Helme and others) is a possible source of trouble. --Chris Christoph P.
