The outstanding change is that the following configuration:
ftp-->chaos(V2.1.60) --ethernet--> quark(V2.1.60) --PPP-->
skunkworks(V2.0.12) --ethernet--> groveland(V2.1.12) --ftp-->
...sends data at 2.6 Kbytes/sec with no TCP stalls. The PPP link
runs at 28.8. The modem receive LED was on practically all the time.
I have never had this kind of performance before from my Linux machines!
In this configuration, quark and skunkworks are routers with PPP between
them. quark proxy-arps for my home network.
Somebody fixed a long-time problem (now don't break it <grin>).
