Thanks. I am storing this away and I am going to show it to anyone who
asks me whether NetBSD has *really* stated they aren't interested in
supporting institutions with TCP/IP networks containing legacy hosts.

Personally no, I wont' be running BSDI, and I'd advise anyone who asks
me not to run it on the Stanford net, either. Not if they want
the best possible connectivity with all existing hosts.

It it's perfectly possible to do  PMTU without in_maxmtu.
The RFC says ``MAY'', not ``MUST''.

Jason, I have pointed out a flaw in your pet idea, and a flaw which
has a real impact.  Because of that, you are resorting to taunts.

Is this an example of what you conisder  ``acting professionally?''
