This is definitely something that has occured since 2.1 and seems to
affect many (but not all) TCP connections both incoming and outgoing.
It has only been seen when the remote machine is a Windows PC, and affects
for instance telnet,ftp,(dcc),http connections, which is why I mentioned
it as a TCP/IP networking interoperability problem.

[description of flakey RIP on local net]

The Windows machines are not on the same local net.

:-) yes
