There's a newer (Y2K-compliant) version in ports (net/tcpslice).  I
was talking with Bill Fenner (CC-ed) about the possibility of
importing this newer version to the base system but I think both of us
had too many other things to deal with.  :-p

IMHO, we should either import a newer version to the base system or
kill it altogether and rely on the one in ports.
