I was wondering if anyone has any docs or knows of where they are, relating to
the tcp_extensions set in sysconfig.  I just disabled them on my box to enable
me to connect to another machine with them disabled altho I have no problems 
myself normally - only when connecting to this particular machine ( 2.0.5->2.0.5)

Do these extensions cause problems over ethernetted connections or only ppp/slip
ones ? what is the 'loosing hardware' mentioned ?

Tony
