Well, yes. Use it. And have fun debugging funny network behaviour in
real life networks.


I must admit that I'm not really interested in  this  -  I  will  not
oppose  any  such patches as long as they are cleanly done and can be
disabled without negative impact on exitsting code and  systems,  but
whenever  I  will  need TCP/IP, I will boot an OS instead. Much, much
less effort - much faster, and much mor reliable.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
