Oh but to answer your implied question `does this help':  NetBSD has
implemented the IETF TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions Working
Group (tcpm-wg) TCP security considerations Internet-Draft, but as you
can see from recent discussion on this list (or practically any other
networking-related forum lately) implementing it as currently written
could have negative effects.  I'm counting on our networking guys
``doing the right thing.''

Cheers,
