Why would the syn-ack come from the ground pc and not the space station?
Are you proxying this? If so, there are other ways todo this ...
I thought this list had rules about not top-posting?
Anyway, the point is I don't want the syn-ack to come from the ground,
but the Linux kernel insists on sending it. That's what I want to
filter out, or otherwise stop.
In case I haven't been clear, the PC is the gateway to the spacecraft;
effectively, it _is_ the proxy. When a telnet client (on the ground)
connects to the gateway (on the ground), the gateway is responding to
the SYN when I don't want it to.
