Lars, et al.,

i had heard that the Linux kernel implemented my proposed mods to
Nagle's algorithm, but i haven't looked at that implementation.  i don't
have any memory of any similar modifications being released in, e.g.,
*BSD.  (i did make some mods to FreeBSD, but i don't think i ever
released them.)  i also don't remember why the draft didn't progress,
though probably i dropped the ball somewhere.  hope that helps.

cheers, Greg
