It definitely could be hardware related, but other then the 1.2b3 
lockups (which a configuration file rebuild fixed) I've had 100% uptime 
since the day I installed m0n0wall (not counting when I reconfigure and 
need a reboot, of course)

It could be a 4.9-5.3 problem too, although most of what I've heard was 
bootup related.

The machine is a PII, 300MHz-ish (I think, I'm not in front of the 
machine), with either 64MB or 96MB of RAM.  Memory usage is around 34% 
any time I've checked, no IPSec, PPTP server is enabled but no users 
were authenticated.

I've done a bit of researching and I now have reason to believe that the 
problem may occur when one of my Vonage VoIP phones is in use.  I'll 
investigate further tonight once I don't have any other users connected, 
but in the mean time I dropped my 1.2b3 CD in the drive and I've been 
stable.
