The new Wollongong/AT&T WIN TCP/IP version 3.0 for the 3B series of
computers arrived with its TTL set to 0xf - 15, in other words.  Luckily
it's a parameter you can set (and the documentation includes telling you
how to do it).

Hmm. I just noticed that our copy sat on the AT&T loading dock for 15 days -
I wonder if that TTL value also applies to delivery time?  Maybe I'd
better NOT set it to 60 or I'll have to wait two months for the next
one....			:-)
