I have a USR V.90 internal modem on sio1, which I am running ppp over. I also am running NATD between an internal network and the ppp connection in my house. I know the message is related to the modem and most likely not FreeBSD, but an not sure of the exact problem and where to start. When I had a Rockwell 56 flex modem in the same box I never saw this message. It showed up when I switched modems. The old modem was connecting at 46-48K most of the time, and the new one is running about 51K most of the time. I also have noticed the errors shows up when I am pushing a lot of data across the ppp link. Do I have a bad modem, or is the extra speed I am pushing through the port too much on an old 486.
