Ok, looked into, and fixed. I made linux-1.3.8 available with various
minor networking fixes, and in the process did the axp stuff needed to
get OOB data working with the OSF/1 telnet (well, at least telnet seems
happy now, but there is still some work to be done with the socket ioctl
numbers like SIOCATMARK, for example).
The 1.3.8 patches don't change the axp-specific stuff, so you can apply
the basic patches on top of a 1.3.7+axp system (or get the whole 1.3.8
source tree, and apply the axp-diffs for 1.3.7 on top of that).
(1.3.8 also fixes the i386 checksumming bug, so now the x86 tree has
caught up to the axp tree ;-)
