Hi there,

it seems that the TCP fixes for 2.2.19pre16 do not fix all the TCP problems.
I still see lots of Connection reset by peer errors even after upgrading to
to  pre16.

I however see two possibly interesting patterns here:
 - the problem happens more often when the PPP link is saturated (eg. a
   download is going on)
 - Such connection resets only happen during the initial phase of a TCP
   session, that is, once established and working, the connection stays   
   alive 

A tcpdump is attached. It was created by an attempt to get to port 80 of
oss.sgi.com:
# telnet oss.sgi.com 80
Trying 216.32.174.190...
Connected to oss.sgi.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
