I've noticed that netscape sometimes tells me "connection reset by peer",
in fact, this happens _most_ of the time when fetching a quote from yahoo.

v1 of TCP/IP Illustrated says basically to send RST whenever
an inappopriate packet is received. here, we're expecting a SYN
or SYN,ACK, but get a bare ACK. is this a known bug in some TCP
stacks? or just a way of signalling busy? seems like resending
the SYN would be a nicer way to handle this...
thanks, mark hahn.
