GPM doesn't work when the hardware crashes, and telnetting from another machine is a hassle. I was curious what possiblity there would be to implement kernel-level or daemon-level support for the "Interrupt" key present on most PowerMacs and PowerBooks. It seems if this could fuction as a soft-reboot command (or any other cofigurable command) it would save a lot of frustration of hard-rebooting in a networkless enviroment or save time anywhere else. Just a though, I know too little about ppc hardware to judge how hard it would be.
