I'm using it against 1.3.75, have beaten on it pretty hard using RDIST,
FTP, etc. with an identical Pentium/3c509 box running 1.2.13.
The wedge-ups with back-to-back packets appear to be gone.
Throughput on the local AUI cable is ~ 450KB/sec, somewhat less than the
~600KB/sec when running 1.2.13 against 1.2.13, but still respectable.
(Perhaps the slowdown is due to interrupt latency issues in 1.3.7x?)
No observable problems have been encountered yet.

Consider this one vote for its official inclusion in 1.3.78.
