Hello,

A while ago I posted a mail about suddenly reboots from the PM3 we use.
This mail did I send:

>I wonder if anyone does have the same problems like me, my PM3 suddenly
>rebooted last weekend.

>I have an Livingston PortMaster PM-3 ComOS 3.7.2c3 with 16MB.
>I'd appreciate it if someone could help me.

We placed a switch to get less collisions.

bright.horizon.nl> version
Livingston PortMaster PM-3 ComOS 3.7.2c3
System uptime is 17 hours 47 minutes
bright.horizon.nl> sh netstat
Name Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis Resets Queue
ether0 1692168 0 1605346 0 11587 0 0

The problem is still not solved, and I have here an error messages that I
noticed on the terminal.

n_newbuf: No available netbufs

When this error message comes along we know that it is not going to take
long that the PM is going to reboot.

sh mem:
System memory 16777216 bytes - 3643704 used, 13133512 available
2832:2 208:1 96:9 128:4 192:2 304:5 64:13 144:22 80:7 2048:8 4240:3 272:4
176:3 16:153 32:11 160:10 48:11
System nbufs 2800 - 176 used, 2624 available

The available nbufs gets lower and lower, the PM3 reboots within 14/17 days.
It seems that the PM3 runs out of nbufs, so now I ask what can solve the
problem.
I'm not happy about this.

Sincerly,
