Kern Mod and TCP retrasmit problem

[Cole]

Hey.

Im doing this to learn, but I was only testing with compression going
one way and no decompression just to make sure it was all working.
However if I implement decompression, then everything should be
working 100%, and I wont have to worry about breaking TCP or modifying
sequence numbers or anything of the sort.

But thanks for the suggestions.

Regards
