          The state diagram on page 23 of RFC793 is a good thing to look
at.  The version of the RFC in the new white DDN Protocol Handbooks
(page 2-207) has an error in it.  The arrow going from the SYN SENT box
to the SYN RCVD box should be labeled rcv SYN/ snd ACK,SYN.  I was
disappointed that this correction was not in the white books since I
discussed this with Jon Postel over a year ago.  I don't know if the
online version of RFC793 has been corrected or not.
