I have had similar problems in the past, but I could trace them to my
serial card. What hardware are you running communications-wise? I have
run an ISP offa SLuRP for over a year now, without any major probs ('cept
upgrades to the OS always force me to recompile SLuRP). Slirp prolly
can't reboot a box, but a faulty card (such as one of my Cyclades 8yo's)
can do it.
