This may not be a FreeBSD problem just from the mere fact that I lack 
details.  I have twice experienced this.  My pentium running FreeBSD 2.1
seems to stop being interactive.  I can ping it and get a response (it 
has a direct net connect as you so guessed), but anything that requires a 
shell on it in some form or another is a no go.  Even the console does not
respond.  I can see what I type on my screen, but freeBSD seems to be 
unaware of my input, not responding to any of it.  I have found no emergency
or panic messages in my logs.  If you can think of things that I might look
at or may actually have an idea of what is wrong both are appreciated.

Thanks much,
-Josh
