uh, no. if PPP at your ISP is broken, and eats the TCP options used for
rfc1323, it will be the same for NetBSD. The sysctl described below
is the same (I guess also for OpenBSD) and the recommended fix if the buggy
firmware/software is in your path. (btw, could be really old CISCO or Linux).

Until here generic {Free,Net,Open}BSD.

This is FreeBSD-specific, I think.
