Using md5, it seems to be working just fine (when it works and doesn't
crash :)).

Code for starters can be found at ftp.op.net:/pub/src/synprophylactica,
I believe.

One thing:  You must STORE the MSS as part of the iss, or a table of common
MSS values.  Initial data and window args you seem to be able to ditch without
effect.
