Just a followup on the poor TCP performance we were seeing with 2.4.0
compared to 2.2.x.

Apparently, the performance problem with Win98 <-> 2.4.0 only happens
with specific ISPs. The MTU and SACK settings didn't appear to have any
effect.

Right now the only confirmed ISP we've been able to reproduce it with is
Earthlink's dialup in the bay area.

Hopefully we'll get some more data on the equipment used upstream to see
if terminal server, router or firewall issue.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to track down this problem, I'd
appreciate it. Right now the TCP performance problem is the only thing
keeping us from switching to 2.4.x across the board.
