Actually, the Dr Watson reset program was such a big hit we're working
on a BSOD reset. Just need one of those CUCME camera's pointed at the
screen and plugged into your average PortMaster serial port. Then when
we detect the BSOD, we short out the power leads in the PM, and after
someone resets the circuit breakers NT reboots. It's working pretty
well so far, but we're looking for beta sites 'cause the database people
are getting pretty pissed ...
Oh, yeah, 8-) (do I even need these anymore?)
