I'm running with the ISDN Accelerator pack, though I'm not using ISDN.
I've previously installed the Service Pack Update. I tested this from a
Debian Linux box running the 2.0.27 kernel against my own machine. I got
the blue screen of death, which told me "An exception OE has occurred at
0028:C1031E0E in VxD MSTCP(01) + 000041AE. This was called from
0028:C10054D0 in VxD PPPMAC (01) + 00004570. It may be possible to
continue normally. Press any key to attempt to continue. Press
Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart."

I did not drop carrier, but otherwise lost all network connectivity at that
point. I was able to do a quick restart of Windows (holding down L-Shift &
selecting Restart from the Shutdown menu) and reconnect. I did not have to
power cycle to recover.

Hope this info helps.
