Hi,

I've got a measly '386 with 8Mb running running FreeBSD 2.2.2 and
ppp (latest version off http://www.freebsd.org/~brian/) -auto -alias
onto a small network, which works fine most of the time. However, there
have been 2 kernel panics (in the 4 months of usage), which I suspect
happens under when memory runs very low. I'd have expected ppp to die
instead of O/S, though.

I intend to upgrade to 2.2.5-R, when my CD arrives (it sure is taking
a long time..), but I thought I'd bring this to the attention of
freebsd-questions.
