How do you trap the normal Windows crashes?

I was thinking about this since this thread started, and it
almost makes we wish for the days of hard-wired dumb terminals
that didn't automatically drop the connection when the power was
turned off without properly logging out.

Using screen on a *nix host sounds like a sane approach if it
permits holding sessions open when Windows dies.
