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.
