Smells like a marketing opportunity.What, marketing a replacement stack? (you really should quote, BTW) No, because the _users_ don't know enough better to care.

I recently discovered that some of my customers have been led to believe that they should employ a program called "Turbo MTU" (or some such), which apparently has knobs for every tiny detail of Windows 95's TCP/IP stack. Since these are often the same type of customers who simply change every setting they can at random, I should not be suprised that they encounter performance problems. -- Christopher Masto <chris () netmonger net> Director of Operations, NetMonger Communications, Inc. +1-516-221-6664 http://www.netmonger.net/ info () netmonger net
