My starter distribution is Linux-Mandrake 7.2 beta 1.
If you really have ECN on, check your ISP... Some like to "help" you by providing a mandatory transparent HTTP proxy/cache. USWest does this for at least some of their DSL customers.
Thankfully, the *do* put a header in, so you can use "telnet www.amazon.com 80" to check for it--I don't remember the exact header (they are no longer my ISP :), but I recall it was fairly obvious.
Anyone else trying to compile statistics on ECN compatability should test out their ISP for this kind of nastyness. I know I have run into it a lot, starting right about when I switched ISPs...
