I have a freebsd machine (DX33 486) with a WD ethernet card and a motorola bitsurfr pro. This machine acts as a router to another network via a ppp link. When I establish a connection I'm having a crash of my router as soon as I start displaying X application remotely. Can a fbsd 2.1 machine just crash by rebooting if it's overloaded wich is not the case (using top). Samy
