If the Apollo implementation does not close a connection if it gets a
reset from the other peer than it is broken. Note that Unix 4.3 will
send you resets in some cases, too. I mentioned to Excelan that they set
the RES bit instead of the FIN bit some while ago, and I think it is
fixed in a newer version (at least for VMS, but I assume for their other
implementations, too) except where it makes sense to RESet to avoid
hanging connections. Even though I found some problems with the Excelan
implementation I got the impression that Excelan is eager to listen (if
one tells them) and to fix the problems.
