  Are you saying that Annex terminal servers fail to handle TCP packets with 
rfc1323 and rfc1644 options on connections passing through the terminal 
server, or on connections to the terminal server?

  In otherwords, FreeBSD --> Annex --> FreeBSD, or FreeBSD --> Annex.

  If it is the first option, why is the terminal server looking at TCP 
options when it is acting as an IP router?
