    Sigh... It is also over satellite... which is medium speed internet
    at best.. my provider may also have limits on how many connection
    attempts I get ... I buy a professional package.. but you can
    BET I will dump sat has soon as DSL shows up (in the next year or
    soo I hope)...

    Linux has SCTP built into the kernle with the lk-sctp project.. I would
    not touch the openss7 version.. it is not very compatible with
    any other SCTP (it does not follow the standard).. At the last interop
    some of the issues were finally fixed (its really the first time they
    showed up and tested)... but I don't know if those patches are
    available or per fee.

    The lk-sctp project in the kernel is far stabler and they are working
    to performance tune it (here it needs a lot of work) and AFAIK lk-sctp
    will ship with all 2.6.6 and greater kernels... turned on by default
    if I remember right..
