I'm not talking with a shell ;) I'm talking about telling the diffrence
between say, netbsd on
sparx,x86, and alpha platforms. when you dont have shell. and to make it
harder.. lets say telnet dosent display that nice littel banner:

*BSD(sparc)

I guess I should have made my question clearer. I'm aware of how
fingerprinting tcp/ip/ works, etc..
