Having served my four-year sentence in the ISO TP4 world, I've suddenly been
unleashed on TCP. To my great surprise, I understand not all TCP
implementations support "keep-alive". For example, SUN's PC-NFS version
of TCP appears not to. How widespread a "problem" is this? What well-known
implementations don't support this?
