Be aware that I am fiddling with things on Mim at the moment, so there 
are random reboots going on. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have 
found a test scenario that is rather interesting for getting my TCP to 
perform somewhat more optimal under high latency network conditions with 
noticeable packet drop.

That said, I do find it a big "buggy" that VMS Multinet then do not 
appear to signal that the line went down when the TCP connection is lost.
It's understandable that this don't happen for UDP, where there are no 
concept of established links, but for TCP they could/should have done 
this. I have certainly done this on the RSX side, but I can't do much 
beyond that.
