i've got a 486-50 and a 386-20 at home connected with a small ethernet...
(both machines have WD8003 ethernet cards...)
saying:
ping -vfs 1024 126.8
will quickly (i.e. within 1000 packets transmitted) and consistently
(as in, you do that 'ping' and the following will _always_ happen)
reboot the machine.
any ideas?
