Hi Andre,

This reminded me - do you know what happened to the plan to implement
SACK for FreeBSD? I'm working with a research group that's interested
in new high speed TCP techniques and they'd prefer to work with
FreeBSD, but they've been using Linux 'cos they need SACK. They
might actually be interested in spending some time implementing it,
if we weren't going to be clashing with anytone else.

	David.
