Hm... Is there anybody else having problems with 2.0.34 using PPP?

I have a total of about 20 Linux boxes running *solid* and the only one which
gives me headaches is a PPP server with an EasyIO and 16 modems. It crashes
about 3-4 times a month with similar behaviour. There are about 100 to 150
logins per day.

In the last weeks I noticed that the crashes _seem_ to occur immediately after a
user logs out. My ip-down script gets called, writes something into the
syslog and then the machine Oopses or simply locks.

I changed motherboard & RAMs four times now. The last time yesterday (the
first time since running 2.0.34). No crash since yesterday. But I'm quite
`confident' that it will happen again.

I suspect either the stallion driver or the PPP. I mailed to Stallion two
times asking for any hints or help but it seems that these mails went
straightly to /dev/null.
