i tested the jolt2.c code....for the first minute there seemed to be no effect on my system or my
router...yet after the first minute, my connection to my linux box dropped..it appears as though
my openbsd firewall/router stopped working temporarily while the attack went on.  It wasn't
permanent, since the firewall started back up after the attack was done...our cisco 2514(?)
router stayed up, however.  This could have simply been a resources problem...since there's
only 64mb of ram on the firewall...however i've never experienced something like this before.  any
others have any similar experiences?  and has anyone looked into the cause of this?  thx
