Greetings,

	In the iijpp's modem.c, the routine Enqueue accepts
	unlimited mbufs to be queued. If there is too much
	traffic or the modem (or interface) has any hardware
	problems, this can cause the depletion of mbufs which
	eventually can cause the system to hang up.

	Have anyone ever looked into this ? This a a catch-22
	situation - how many should we queue ?

	Best regards.

	Francis
