- Similar experience here. Do two large "makes" of libraries and binaries
- from separate telnet sessions, and the system reboots every now and
- again. Bit of a curse, as it does not recognise the WD enet card at
- reboot unless I press the hardware reset button.

- My system has a 154x Adaptec card, a 600Mb SCSI, 8Mb RAM, 386 DX
- processor, Octek motherboard.
