 I still think it's a bad idea to mix the two features together like
 this: applications should be able to get predictably non-T/TCP
 behaviour if they so choose.
 
 How about keeping the TCP_NOPUSH part of the functionality under that
 name and making a TCP_ALLOWTAO option for the listen-side functionality?
 
 Tony.
