These problems are apparent when making TCP connections from a Windows or Mac box to a Linux 2.3.x or 2.4.x server. The setting up of a connection is fine, and occurs as usual, but data transfer is very, very slow - to the point of unusability
Oddly, these problems don't occur when dialled up from a Linux machine - but they're still apparent when masquerading a Windows or Mac box behind that Linux gateway.
Ah, but just try and connect to any Linux 2.3.x or 2.4.x box from NTL's network. Or 'notwork' in this case.
Caused me no end of hassle tracking that problem down. We've had to downgrade now, since NTL's senior network engineers have been quite uncooperative on this issue.
IIRC, which I may not - it's been a while since I was taught this stuff - it's possible to change some of the genetic make-up (hence gene-therapy), though tampering with such things can lead to cell mutation. Or cancer, as we like to call it.
