   I have some in-house software running under LINUX that does a tcp connect to
   a process (port # 32659) running on an HP A900 (RTE-A OS with a NS1000
   tcp/ip package addon- yes I know this is a dinosaur but it's not mine).

I bet it's getting confused by modern TCP options. Ho hum... try this:

echo "0" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
echo "0" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling
echo "0" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack

And see if this makes it work. If this fixes it, that's unfortunate,
a TCP should just ignore the options it does not support.
