[DGD] Descartes?

[Michael McKiel]

Descartes I believe is the owner/manager of imaginary.com? I was trying to
get a message off to him, sent to: mailman-owner at byzantium.imaginary.com
but that bounced. I believe I've seen him on here in the archives before, or
if anyone knows how to get ahold of him regarding a strange issue with the
imaginary.com server... msg was:



It would appear as though imaginary's firewall is dropping/refusing any
connection from linux that's been enabled with ECN support.
As a result anyone on linux with ECN enabled is unable to connect to
imaginary.com or subscribe to any of the lists...


Info while configuring ECN from linux:

 TCP Explicit Congestion Notification support 
CONFIG_INET_ECN 
  Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) allows routers to notify 
  clients about network congestion, resulting in fewer dropped packets 
  and increased network performance.  This option adds ECN support to 
  the Linux kernel, as well as a sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn) 
  which allows ECN support to be disabled at runtime. 
 
  Note that, on the Internet, there are many broken firewalls which 
  refuse connections from ECN-enabled machines, and it may be a while 
  before these firewalls are fixed.  Until then, to access a site 
  behind such a firewall (some of which are major sites, at the time 
  of this writing) you will have to disable this option, either by 
  saying N now or by using the sysctl. 
 
  If in doubt, say N.
