i seem to remember ther is a bug and you need
to get the "current" kernel version of the
ppp module from ftp.cdrom.com.

:  pseudo-device   ppp     2

: And one starting from the supplied 'IPFIREWALL', adding:

: controller      ahc0    at isa? bio irq ? vector ahcintr

: to make my discs work.


: Both of these work fine with local Ethernet etc. but after bringing up
: a PPP link, a kernel panic occurs:

: Fatal Trap 12, page fault while in kernel mode
: ...
: current process = pppd

: For the 60 seconds or so before it blows up, the PPP is working fine,
: the routing works (I am using the 'defaultroute' option to pppd)
: and I can telnet, ftp etc.

: The panic seems to happen slightly quicker with the 'IPFIREWALL' kernel
: than the 'GENERIC+PPP', but it's hard to be sure.

: Any ideas greatly appreciated! - what's different between my system and
: those of you that have it working?

: Hardware is 486/66, 16Mb, Adaptec 2842 VESA + 1Gb + CDROM, SMC Ultra Ethernet,
: 16550 COM ports, Western Digital VGA, IDE disc fitted but not in use.
