I tried as many of the other ones that I could find, including, I think,
the ones you refer to, and none of them had any effect on MiNTNet.

I said that I did not want to spend the time to fix the problem inside
TCP. Maybe I will do that some other time - I don't know. I am more
interested in working on the IP masquerading at the moment.

If you don't like my patch, nobody is forcing you to use it.
