Well, I guess that if you plug the other end of the network cable
into something like 50.000 volts... maybe "shutdown" isn't the right
way to describe the effect...

What do you mean by "port". It's easy to remotely shut down a Linux system,
using the "halt" command. There's also a "shutdown" command available for
OS/2.
