It's a single processor system.

I have found that I can use "shutdown now" from a second terminal session and 
then <CTRL><D> to restart or "reboot" to actually reboot.  But any OTHER  
attempt to stop asterisk with software or to unload the wcfx? modules causes 
the system to "sieze up."

Even if I use "shutdown now" and then attempt "kldunload wcfx?" (Note: the ? 
represents either "s" or "o"  I'm not actually using the question mark) :)

Hey!  Thanks again for providing a set of eyes, and a timeslice or two of your 
synaptic activity!
