	A strange problem with a FreeBSD box working as a packet 
filtering router:
	
	1) Symptom: During a data transfer from a real close site 
featuring speed around 200Kb/s the connection would fail and the FreeBSD 
box just hang.
	2) Networks: The networks on the both sides are plain 10Base2 
ethernets 
	3) Configuration: the machine running FreeBSD 2.1-release is a 
486DX4-120 with 16MB RAM & two D-link PCI cards using the DEC 21040 chipsets.
	4) The firewall rule list contains 5 entries

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Could it be re-occuring in 
the future and what could be making the FreeBSD hang instead of just 
dropping the packets it can't handle?

	Sander.
