Well, I forgot to say: reboots doesn't happen when you just plag in Cyclades. All four boxes -- quite busy access servers, from 10 to 15 dialup modems. As for comment about using Cyclades for connecting serial terminals -- I mentioned that reboots happen with "getty" and don't with "mgetty", so callout devices are ok. What ditails can I provide? That's not panics, I don't have crashdumps. May be exact hardware configurations? If so -- I'll test it once again and write exactly all hardware details. > > -DG > > David Greenman > Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project -- Litvin Alexander
