BSD tcp: multiple acks (with fix)

It was *intended* to be about those boxes, but some people are, I guess,
confused by the name, and think it's for 4.3-tahoe.

4.3-tahoe bugs should be posted, like any other 4BSD bugs, to
"comp.bugs.4bsd", so that even people who know that "comp.sys.tahoe" is
for Tahoe machines, and don't care about them and therefore don't read
that group, can find out about them.

(If you don't get netnews, I don't know if there's a mailing list behind
"comp.bugs.4bsd" or not.)

No, there's nothing about 4.3-tahoe that makes it deserve a "comp.os"
newsgroup of its own.  It's a UNIX version, so general discussion
belongs in "comp.unix.*"; it's a 4BSD version, so bug reports belong in
"comp.bugs.4bsd".

The fact that the hardware is out-of-date doesn't necessarily mean the
group should be moved, either; after all, "comp.sys.ridge" is still
around....

>BTW - tahoe (the hardware) originated @ CCI (named boxes after lakes).

Except for the 5/32, which was named after a pond. :-)
