I am running FreeBSD 2.1.6.  I have had this happen twice now.
The system runs along just fine until it starts to gradually get
sick.  I have a static IP set up for my domain tltodd.com.
I use pppd to dial up the connection and run PPP.  When the system
gets sick everything runs fine except the TCP/IP link.  It gradually
degrades to the point where no traffic is going through.  If I try
to ping my service provider I get the following error:
ping: sendto: No buffer space available

Any clue what is going on and how to avoid this?

Thanks,
Terry Todd
