- Tried ctrl/s, but it didna work. Tried ntsd and ended up
- inside ntdll, real close to an interrupt that does not
- return control to the debugger. How do you get back into the
- "net" code from the initial DebugBreak?

- Sounds like a reasonable suggestion, but an explanation of
- how to effectively use NTSD against "net start tcpipsvc"
- would be good too.
