What do you mean by PPP crash?

Does ppp stop working or does your system crash.

Ever since we upgraded our gateway to Freebsd2.0 two weeks ago our 
system crashes once to twince a day. It simply reboot without any 
messages in /var/log/messages to give us a clue of any kind. We have
a 28 800 ppp link with our provider and 4 slip links available for 
our users.

I have been unable to do anything about it so far...
