I am making it up.  Its been like 15 or more years since I had a piece
of network gear wig out over this.  Seems like it was a Livingston
portmaster.  And another was a pre-release of the Total Control Hub from
3com they were hoping we would use.  I found that little jewel, and
also, an issue with their frame relay implementation.

Doesn't really matter anyway, if you have no respect for others opinions.
