I'm running FreeBSD 2.0 (From the Walnut Creek CDROM).  I've rebuilt
the kernel to include support for ppp, rebuild the pppd program, and
tried to use ppp.  Unfortunately, as soon as I actually establish a
ppp session, the kernel panics on me with a trap 12, stating that the
pppd caused a page fault in supervisor mode.

I've tried using slip, but I have to go through enormous gyrations to actually get it to work.  I'm running out of time.   I have to get this working soon, or go back to Linux.  I'd really appreciate some help.

-Jon
