Hello, I have a pc running FreeBSD that is linked by a loaded ethernet cable
to a sparc running Solaris 2.4.  When I use the pc to dial out to a PPP
server, and try to use the pc as a router by pinging anything in the outside 
world, the pc locks up.  I'm running the April snapshot of 2.0, and I have 
rebuilt the kernel with the GATEWAY option.  Any hints or sympathy :-) ?
