FreeBSD 2.0 seems to kill our digiboard portserver 16 on anything that 
starts from the computer. The portserver can talk to the computer (telnet 
or rlogin) without a problem. However, if I telnet from the bsd 
machine to the portserver, the portserver reboots. This happens on several 
bsd machinens with FreeBSD 2.0 and 2.0.5. This problem also happens if I 
use the digiboard supplied rtty software (makes a digiboard port look 
like local tty). Any suggestions?
