Cool. :)
I borrowed one of them, and I think there is a situation where the
receive logic can get a few packets behind. For instance, if I ping
-i 0.1 a local host, I can type this message, although with lag. If I
stop the ping, the TCP stream seems to hang. Start the ping again,
and it once again works...
