I really need some help and advice.  I have a dialup FreeBSD box with 16 
modems running through a Cyclades 16Ye PCI board.  Things were going 
pretty well for the last few weeks... I had a few disconnects, but 
nothing to serious.  Now however, I can't seem to keep the system up for 
any length of time.  I currently have disconnected all but 4 of the 
modems to try and troubleshoot this problem, but don't really have a clue 
as to what is causing it, except I keep getting these messages...

bobcats2 pppd[277]:  ioctl (PPPIOCGGLAGS):  Inappropriate ioctl for device

I get about 4 of those a whack.  I also notice that on bootup, I get a 
message about the httpd daemon starting, but it says bind:  Address 
already in use, then sometimes says right after that httpd:  cannot 
connect to port 80

I think this is where my problem is, but I don't know how to tackle it?

Can anyone help me?
