Thanks, I knew i had seen it...
But,  the possible ways to reboot referenced in faq22_6 won't work, or
i'm doing something wrong.
outportb (0x64, 0xfe);  will only close the windows DOS box.
__dpmi_int(0x19, &regs);  because the program is not running in plain
DOS an alert pop-up window appears and the DOS box is closed.
This leaves me to the literal INT 19h instruction implementation (with
my shortest knowledge of assembler):
/* reboot.s file assembled with as*/
.globl _reboot
.text
_reboot:
    int $0x19
    ret
.end
/* */
But this won't work either. It simply closes the DOS box.
Thanks,
