Yes, I think that'd be very useful; when a user has a repeatable network 
problem, we could have them turn this on and create a detailed log file 
for us.  In cases of reset connections, etc, this would be quite useful.

Doesn't TCPDEBUG do something like that already, though?  I haven't taken 
a look into it, perhaps I should.
