I wrote parts of the following message a few days ago...
The problem isn't solved:

We use a

"Livingston PortMaster PM-2e ComOS 3.7.2"

as a Dialin Server...

It is configured for using tcp/ip and ipx...
the ISDN ports are working without problems...
but the asynchronous ports make trouble:
After a reboot everything works fine, but after some
dialins the user can't use tcp/ip(they get the assigned IP-Adress but can't
ping "portmaster_ip_adress"
ipx makes no trouble. On the portmaster console(with debugging enabled) i get
the following message:

e_get_packet: Packet Not available
n_send: Couldnt send - packet not available

There is no problem with the eth-device (it's on an switched port and
isdn-users have no problem).

So i think it's a software problem...

Today i wanted to "telnet portmaster" and got no "login message". Instead
i got:

"No nbuffs available"

No way to login!!

While walking to the portmaster console, the portmaster decided to reboot!!

Very confusing..
