I stopped adding TTCP when I found it couldnt talk

o	Over AX.25 (poor window assumptions one liner fix to the BSD code
	sorts that. I'll sell the fix to you for $1000 or you can wait)

o	To KA9Q stacks ... KA9Q - amateur radio no big deal. Wrong its
	used in assorted products that you cant manage with freebsd if
	ttcp is enabled (some netblazers, 3com office connect 4xx,5xx,6xx)

o	It widens and doesnt resolve the issues in draft-heavens on RST
	frames
