Are people saying that a Parsytec node can individually reset its
neighbours?  I would welcome this capability because I wouldn't
have to reboot the whole machine if one node had crashed.  Trollius
has the individual reboot capability, but it has to be disabled for
lack of hardware support (resets).  It might be interesting to
write a "worm" that would find and reboot crashed nodes.  This
might save time on a large machine.
