We are using SLiRP with FreeBSD 2.0.  Users connect via modem and start up 
SLiRP from their login script.  When they are finished they just drop the 
line. That is, they do not telnet back to the machine and type 00000 to exit 
SliRP and then logout.  About 10-20% of the time after doing this the machine 
reboots within the next 5 minutes without leaving any error messages in the 
logfile.  Has anyone seen this before?  Any suggestions as to a cause or fix?

Thanks, EK
