Locks up Win98se box (PII-350, 128Mb ram) on a lan.
It does NOT affect NT4.0 Server with sp5 on lan.
Windows 200 does not die (tested via modem and lan).

Hmmm. This didn't do a thing to my Windows 95 (B) box (local or remote
testing), but it trashed my Cisco 760 series ISDN router. I was running
the code below off of a remote box (so the trash was coming in the WAN
side) and the router was hit so hard that the ethernet side wasn't even
pingable. Everything trying to route through it started producing
various strange routing errors (like host unreachable when trying to
traceroute beyond it). Occasionally a few packets would make it through,
but this was fairly rare. I'm assuming that what happened here is the
CPU on the router was overloaded. I wouldn't have expected this though,
because the setup for the router is fairly simple. No filters, no
routing protocols (all static), no nothing...

Windows 2000: Net access of any kind causes GPF's.
Windows 98: Blue screen as soon as you try running anything.

Does nothing to a p166 with 16mb ram running win95 over a 10mbit.
