Disabling it is just a matter of a file name change from tcpconn.py to tcpconn.pyoff or something like that. The same thing would have to be done for the tcpconn.pyconf file as well (tcpconn.pyoff). I would suggest we just make the file name change and still distribute it for those that want to use it anyway. It still works reliably, it just has a wait timeout issue that is really only noticeable when using the -m parameter.
