Net traffic - no problem.
PPP connection net traffic - problem!

It has happened twice now and with similiar reports already out there, I'd like
to add mine.

Oddly enough, it was using FTP w/ a PPP connection... both times, the video
memory got wacked (lots of neat characters on the screen) and bam, reboot.

No oops, no sign in syslog what happened - just a reboot.

Last time it happened I was on ASUS's ftp site checking out BIOS revisions..
I think its the gods way of saying "Thou shall not upgrade thy BIOS today"
