I completely hung the PPP connection once, but I figured it was the slow modem. I have been able to panic the NATD machine a couple of times with 2400 baud modem when I downloading big files (ftp or netscape bringing down an image). I can also replicate it by connectioning the NATD machine to another FreeBSD machine (386) a null-modem cable at only 9600 baud -- the 386 can't do much faster. It could be the slow nature of lines I am using or in the null-modem case, it could be due to the fact I was using 10.1.10/24 on the ed0 interface and 10.1.1/24 on the ppp0 interface. I guess I will try to get newer equipment in and see if crashing problems disappear. --mark.
