    Heh.  Time to remove that foot from my mouth.  The only non-FreeBSD
machine I had locally was a Linux box. :)  The other servers that I
tested it against (in a fairly non-scientific fashion) were either strange
little boxes, linux boxes, or firewalled.  (But if anyone ever wanted to
know if an eSoft IPAD box implements its TCP stack correctly, the
answer is no.  heh).
