Well... now we have encountered it between a dialup windows box,
and an NT server (ftp upload). The only thing in common between
all these hang-ups we've seen is a Livingston Portmaster running
ComOS 3.3.1. Hard to believe *it* could be the
problem... perhaps it's just broken TCP/IP code in common use on
more than one kind of machine....
