Hank,

I think the scorecard is missing an important element: the ability or
inability of the different packages to reassemble IP fragments.
This feature is relevant in general if one wants to estabilish connections
traversing different networks and gateways which could fragment an IP
message. My knowledge is that KA9Q can reassemble, MIT can't,
the latest version of CMU (or a patch to CMU made by somebody else,
I don't remember) can, Stanford can not.

Best regards
