Except on the half of the ultrasparcs, where 64bit stuff is
mostly disabled because of CPU bugs ;) (See Bugtraq)

Thats been in for years, I think you just used to pay for it. Its nice
very nice.

They're catching up with us

In 2.1.x this is good that Solaris has it too - it really helps with hosts
that also talk SACK on bad links. It now looks like most non MS OS's will
be shipping SACK support very soon, and probably MS too.

4.05 is insecure, and 4.5 is out ;)

We've got one of those too.

Whooo they've finally _10 years after asking_ got traceroute ;)
