It would be nice to have a utility that we could use to simulate an
connection using ECN without actually having ECN built into our
TCP drivers.  Then we could quickly check several sites and then
fire up a client to try the connection.  If the test fails, but the
client succeeds, we'd know that that site is using broken routers
or whatever.

Does this sound doable or worthwhile to you?
