I've copied a scad of changes onto the sources machine.  In
particular
- I've hacked the hell out of TCP to get rid of
    all the anomalies I could find.
  > The problem LANL was having with throughput
	dropping off drasticly with write size is gone.
  > we no longer do lots of needless retransmissions
  > IP CPU overhead is down (took out some high rollers)
- I've added SYN attack defenses.  I used the low
  state model rather than the SYN cookie one.
- a defense for NAPTHA DOS attacks from Dong Lin.

I don't think I've picked up any works in progress.
I still want to add scalable TCP windows but ran out
of time.  I'll do it in a few weeks.  It might help
with GB ethernet.
