            let me know so I can add them to this section.
 
-On all -  write a character to /proc/sysrq-trigger.  e.g.:
-
+On all -  write a character to /proc/sysrq-trigger, e.g.:
 		echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger
 
+On all - Enable network SysRq by writing a cookie to icmp_echo_sysrq, e.g.
+		echo 0x01020304 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_sysrq
+	 Send an ICMP echo request with this pattern plus the particular
+	 SysRq command key. Example:
+	 	# ping -c1 -s57 -p0102030468
+	 will trigger the SysRq-H (help) command.

 *  What are the 'command' keys?
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 'b'     - Will immediately reboot the system without syncing or unmounting
