flexresp is a "race to the finish" that depends on how quickly a packet
can be sent.  If you're trying to test on your local lan, you're going to
have it fail or "not work".  The latency on a local lan is rather low ( <
3 ms for most), whereas over a internet link you're going to see higher
times ( > 30ms ).  The higher the latency, the higher the chance that
flexresp will work.

Cheers!
