Happy with this, Ignatious ?

+ 12. I'm using sPPP. I can connect to my ISP but no TCP/IP services work. HELP!
+ ==============================================================================
+ 
+ This is probably because you have the RFC1323 - TCP Extensions for High
+ Performance - support turned on and your ISP (or some router in the loop)
+ is discarding the extensions.
+ 
+ This can easily be checked by doing ``sysctl net.inet.tcp.rfc1323''. If the
+ result is 1, then the RFC1323 support is turned on.
+ 
+ Turn this off by doing ``sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0''.
+ 
+ For FreeBSD make sure that tcp_extension="NO" is in your /etc/rc.conf
+ (/etc/defaults/rc.conf with more recent versions of FreeBSD) !!
+ 
+ This may be different for NetBSD, OpenBSD and BSD/OS.
