People sure did have problems before--that's why Linux 2.0.1 through 2.0.29 were written. :)

I had excellent results (in comparison to other versions of Linux) with 2.0.29 and the fourth ISS patch (which you can find on ftp://vger.rutgers.edu/pub/linux/Net/patches/) on a system with around 120 concurrent users. There were several other changes in 2.0.30:
-rw-r--r-- 1 100 11304 56633 Mar 9 1997 patch-2.0-ISS.test4.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 502 101 293692 Apr 8 1997 patch-2.0.30.gz
On www.linuxhq.com you can find a brief description of what each of the official patches does, numerous unofficial patches, and benchmarks of 2.0.29 versus 2.0.29-ISS. The notes for the benchmarks mention that the ISS patch fixes some bugs. ___ Trevor Johnson
