Subject: ppp.log file gets too big!

I have FreeBSD 2.2.5 running on a 486-66 system. The system
uses two (2) 325 meg hard drives.

I am using the FreeBSD machine as a gateway to the Internet
for some Windows 95 machines. Whenever I download a 
bunch of files the system halts because the /var directory
gets overloaded. I look into the file system and find this huge
file ppp.log. It seems to be the problem, so I rm it. But then 
the system reports errors when running ppp even after I reboot.

How can I keep this ppp.log file from getting too big? or How can I
effectively clean it up?
