Just in case it wasn't noted, the lnc doesn't seem to reset unless ppp on 
sio is up.  So lnc resets might be causing the silo overflows, but it 
seems that something about ppp or sio is causing the lnc resets.

I hope there will be a fix for this.  It takes over my console screen, 
and I'd be quite worried if and when I have to run this machine as a 
gateway through ppp.
