I'm not using PPP but one thing to watch for is that fbsd will load an SMP system heavily even when "idle". This can tax cpu cooling on overclocked systems and result in magical reboots. There are semi-recent threads on SMP vs. overclocking somewhere in the stable or current group archives. (use GeoCrawler until the natural version is resurrected): http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/FreeBSD/ One of my systems is running 2x366 celerons @458. Not impressive by most standards, but those chips are borderline rejects. Using SMP heats them up very quickly until the, uh, auxiliary fans kick in.
