Philip,

as our localnet talks to the Internet via SATNET which has a maximum
packet size of 256, almost every packet gets fragmented unless.
With CMU PC/IP we are currently using, at least with telnet, the trick
of defining a small window (216 bytes counting the tcp-ip overhead).
The obtained perfomance is very low, and we cannot use tftp.
We are certainly interested in testing your fragmentation/reassembly
code to see the improvement.
