I use kppp to connect to the net. If I disconnect while I'm in the
GUI, everything is fine. If I go back to the CLI and disconnect using
the kill (PID) command or ifI lose the connection another way, the PC
reboots.
Any ideas?

On FreeBSD 4.2 I use kppp to connect to the net. In other words I
didn't edit ppp-on and the other files that are used when connecting
to the net in a CLI, so I only connect in the GUI. If I disconnect
using the while I'm still in the GUI, everything is fine, but if I go
back to the CLI for a while, then disconnect using the kill (PID)
command or if I lose my connection for any reason, the PC reboots.
Any ideas?

I'm not sure what the problem could be, but have you taken a look at
/var/log/messages? Might be some useful info there.

I do see something now that you meantion it.
Jan 6 14:57:50 quesejoda /kernel: pid 453 (kppp), uid 0: exited on
signal 6 (core dumped)
What's w/ the core dumped? Why should kppp do that? Keep in mind
that I already exited the GUI and returned to command line when I
killed the ps pid.
