I've never seen any machine crash when installing a transceiver. The last time I cut through the table I also happened to be rlogined using the same cable. After the 3com transceiver was installed, the connection was still there. The various systems did have some complains from the various ethernet drivers, but didn't crash. So if your system reboots, there is probably something wrong in your device driver. Hardware: 750s, 780, Suns running 4.2, 3Com & DEUNA Ethernet hardware. Jaap Akkerhuis (mcvax!jaap).
