Uh, ECN? *puzzled* If I had changed anything about "ECN" on purpose I think 
I'd remember, but I don't remember doing anything regarding that particular 
acronym. At least, not manually.

Well, my computer can talk to any other, to a degree. For some reason larger 
outgoing TCP streams being sent from my computer stall. My computer receives 
data just fine, but seems to have trouble sending it. Mind you, this only 
happens to individual streams, and it does not happen in Win98, which is why 
I suspect something in my Debian install is broken. Does the Linux TCP/IP 
implementation really differ that much from Windows that a problem like this 
is possible to exist in one but not the other?

Oh dear, sounds like this is going from bad to worse... ;-)
