Thanks, I didn't know that. It doesn't seem to work very well though: under 2.1.90, when I mounted an Irix 6.5 NFS server and copied a 7MB file to /dev/null locally, it turned the machine into a gibbering heap for a few minutes. It seemed to cause lots of other TCP connections to collapse, including most of my X clients.
Using UDP it copied in about 10 seconds.
