Was it both the extensions causing problems, or just the RFC 1323 ones? I have had problems with those, but not with the T/TCP extensions. If I recall correctly, RFC 1323 covers protection against wrapped sequence numbers. Anyone with a fast enough link to need that at this point probably knows enough to enable it themselves (and they're probably paying their upstream enough to pay for equipment that can handle RFC 1323 without breaking).
