Becuase there is a group comp.windows.x.i386unix that allready does
this. What does configuring Xfree86 (which is the same on BSD, Linux,
and SysV) have to do with the Linux operating system?

TCP is still very beta. Technical questions about TCP implementation
in the kernel should probablly be directed to the mail list. When TCP
is stable, comp.protocols.tcp-ip can answer these questions.

The only reason it will get worse is if people continue to ask
questions like your next one in comp.os.linux.

What a good question. How 'bout you ask it in
comp.sys.ibm.ps.hardware where it belongs.
