Bill Nowicki of Sun kindly sent me a long list of bug fixes for our
Sun version of the 4.3bsd tcp code.  I think I've incorporated all
his fixes in a new version.  At the same time, Mike Karels of Berkeley
fixed four or five minor bugs in the 4.3 code.  I've incorporated
those fixes as well.

Also, you may have noticed that the retransmit timer code was almost
completely broken in the previous version.  We have been using the
new timer algorithm I described on the tcp-ip list a few weeks ago.
Although the new algorithm has been working well in several weeks
of tests at LBL, I didn't want to pass out experimental code.  I
tried to back-fit the original timer code and blew it.  It looks
like the new timer algorithm is about to go into 4.3bsd so we've
left it in the new version of the Sun code.

The new code is compressed tarchive 4.3tcp4sun3.3.tar.Z available
via anonymous ftp from lbl-rtsg.arpa.  Note that this code is for
Sun OS 3.3.  As Bill Nowicki has pointed out, you *DON'T want to
USE IT WITH Sun OS 3.4*: 3.4 already contains the 4.3bsd tcp code
and, since 3.4 has most of the 4.3 icmp fixes as well, several
features that we've ifdef'd out are enabled in Sun's 3.4.
