I'm suffering from the same problem here, (although we get everything to route fine for usually up to about 30 seconds until it freezes up.) but we don't actually get panics, just a complete freeze. However, we're in dire need of a working version of natd here. (We're using natd 1.4, installed as one of the standard 2.2.2-RELEASE ports, with bisdn-0.97 and a Teles S0/16.3) > For the moment, you could try using ppp rather than pppd/natd.
