These are connected to modems (V34), using cyclades serial boards. Hardware varies, 486-100/120, VLB or PCI, or Pentium 90 (Asustek MB). The machines only run pppd or rlogin and gated for routing. >Description: Systems panic and often lock up with Page fault while in kernel mode fatal trap 12 these are almost always double panics (probably always, but we never get a crash dump so we do not really know). Problems increase with the number of modems, but this is not a clear rule; sometimes machines with less than 16 modems are unstable. We do not see this with machines which serve leased lines with exactly the same configuration, so this probably has something to do with modems, either with lines going up and down, or modem flow control (leased lines are usually with no flow control). This problem has been there for ages, from 2.1 days, probably it has always existed. I think I have filed this before, but could not find a reference, so I assume if I did it got lost. >How-To-Repeat: Build FreeBSD based terminal/modem server with cyclades boards and stack up to 32 modems into it. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
