I love responding to my own messages, but I do have something to add.
The following link, which seems to be along the right lines was given
to me by an interested party. I have BCC'ed them on this message so
they can show themselves if they want, or stay in the shadows for the
time being.
Take a look at http://www.psc.edu/networking/tcp.html, in particular
http://www.psc.edu/networking/auto.html. I can't believe I overlooked
it when I was looking at the site earlier. It's a potential fix to
point #2 in my message. It has working, if experimental, NetBSD code.
Perhaps a FreeBSD version should appear soon in a default-to-off
version so it can get out to the world.
