Windows 3.11 AT&T dialup networking DoS

I discovered this by accident one day on IRC =) It seems as thought the dial up networking software provided by AT&T to its dialup customers is unable to handle large ping packets sent to it. When a large packet is sent, (I used 5k) the windows environment was dropped to the dos prompt and the system locked up. A reboot was necessary. There is absolutely no error message. Just a simple dump to the dos prompt and system lockup. I know that probably hardly anyone uses Winblows 3.1, but i thought this would be interesting to be thrown out :D m00c0w@irc UNIX system administrator :D Type Bits/KeyID Date User ID pub 1024/33489D41 1997/05/21 m00c0w <torvaldo () norwich net> -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.3i mQCNAzODa08AAAEEAKyvqKCvSdp6YA/NpJqw8WQYzMmn7Q4+P5q1jdNHNrdr5ouI dJ4BikZ65JI/bWyVlgg5C0dfhKQE7FJqb/4cN7Z9f50S/2hbEToLOf+PYyaLzZYx Kfsj8i+W9xpdsLhMfcopkftPR7wNlJGIm29ORo6O181Nn+DOhjFx7qEzSJ1BAAUR tB1tMDBjMHcgPHRvcnZhbGRvQG5vcndpY2gubmV0PokAlQMFEDODa08xce6hM0id QQEBwBIEAKrcDXAm80/Zg7SU7Fwv/NRZUazkDsBvL2wiAJTXFR0paL/8Mz9Ezef0 gVwzgoJuNjq4rMb+h6IC25gqSAholflzeEaB6f8myA+fNDz57v4NI64GgtMOLfk7 xoj+6wXE2yzhYCUemLxv2P/9kdUzYSg9e6UczO/Av/0oScwus7Yt =Eizc -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
