Ya, I know. I wasn't sure at the time if it was my ISP, the DSL provider, or
my NetBSD box. I had to reboot in order to find out.

However, now that I'm aware of the problem, I'll be more prepared to diagnose
NetBSD when it happens again. But, this is the first time I've ever seen this,
and my NetBSD box had been up for quite some time.

BTW, I didn't mention before. I have a 3C509 connected to nmy DSL and a 3C905
connected to my LAN subnet.
