Speaking of packets being lost...

...if we aren't going to get a SACK implementation any time soon, I'd
like to turn on New Reno by default.  The FTP server's been running
with it for a long time and seems to work OK.  I'd also like to consider
implementing rate-halving; there's an old implementation for 1.3 floating
around which I might have time to bring up to date at some point after
the current academic year is over here in the U.S. (about three weeks
from now).

Opinions?
