So far so good.  If I change add "set choked 10", I am not able to hang the 
usb port like I was before.

The value is quite a change from the default 120 seconds, but still 10 
seconds to transmit (for my application anyways which is a modem backup if 
the DSL fails) is adequate.  I am going to let it run 48hrs to see if it 
still stable.  On one device, I am running just continuous pings, and I am 
kicking off the connection every 10 min from the terminal server.  On 
another machine, I am running it with random bursts of data and kicking it 
off every 5min.
