Well, the memory anyway.

Well, it probably was done making. Every time you re-started the make it
should have pickup up from where it left off the last time (after wasting a
lot of time noticing that it didn't have to make a bunch of stuff). So, you
still may not have stressed the box while using the 3rd party telnet
client. After you get all of your stuff converted to text and transferred,
I hope you back it up ;)
