The connection is thru a 33.6 modem. Anyway, everything seems to work okay except the machine crashes with the following messages: /kernel: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode /kernel: fault virtual address = 0x4c10008 /kernel: fault code = supervisor read, page not present /kernel: panic.... I have never had to deal with a problem like this before (I have another FreeBSD system doing the same thing with no problems although with only 1 or 2 other workstations on the LAN) The main question I have is whether the above messages indicate a hardware or software problem? Thanks! Bill Fahey bill@tic.ab.ca
